Session Practice 1 Fact Unsafe release of car 5.

Offence Breach of Article 34.14 a) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision The competitor (Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team) is fined €5,000. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 5 (Sebastian Vettel), the driver of Car 20 (Kevin Magnussen), and team representatives, and examined video evidence. Car 20 had to brake in the fast lane to avoid Car 5 when Car 5 was released from the garage. Consistent with decisions in previous similar cases the Stewards impose a financial penalty on the team. Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Chapter 4 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
