To The Team Manager, McLaren F1 Team Document 42 Date 25 November 2023

Time 20:23 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 37 & 38) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 81 - Oscar Piastri Competitor McLaren F1 Team

Time 18:59

Session Qualifying Fact Car 81 appeared to impede Car 10 in turn 4. Infringement Alleged breach of Article 37.5 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision No further action.

Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 81 (Oscar Piastri), the driver of Car 10 (Pierre Gasly), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence. Telemetry of Car 10 showed the throttle was at 100% when Car 10 approached and overtook Car 81.  The driver of Car 10 stated he had to make a minor direction change but it did not affect his lap. The driver of Car 10 stated that he was not impacted by Car 81, and the data showed he achieved his fastest mini-sector time at the point. 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.

Decisions of the Stewards are taken independently of the FIA and are based solely on the relevant regulations, guidelines and evidence presented.
