Date 31 July 2022 Time 17:51 2022 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 28 - 31 July 2022 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 24 - Zhou Guanyu Competitor Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN

Time 16:43

Session Race Fact Allegedly left the track and gained an advantage in turn 14. Offence Alleged breach of Article 2 c) Chapter IV Appendix L of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision No further action.

Reason The Stewards reviewed the video evidence and determined that while ZHO left the track, he did not gain a lasting advantage from doing so. On the last lap of the race ZHO, who was on better tyres, had been following MSC while attempting to overtake. At turn 13 ZHO attempted an overtake of MSC on the outside. While a significant portion of this car was alongside MSC, he was slightly behind at the apex. MSC opened his steering leaving no room for ZHO on the outside as a result of which ZHO left the track to avoid a collision. Having left the track, he then fell in behind MSC at the entry to turn 14. MSC took a line through turn 14 on the dirty side of the track which left ZHO room to overtake MSC on the inside and ZHO legitimately took that opportunity. 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.
