Williams Racing Document 29 Date 28 July 2023 Time 19:56

The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 21) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 23 - Alexander Albon Competitor Williams Racing Time 17:28 Session Qualifying Fact Leaving the track and rejoining unsafely at the exit of T8 at 17:28. Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 c) of the International Sporting Code. Decision Reprimand (Driving). This is the driver's 1st reprimand of the season. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 23 (Alexander Albon), the team representative and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence.

Albon left the circuit at Turn 8 at the end of Q1. He then rejoined the circuit on the racing line. While he was always going to have to rejoin on the line, the Stewards feel that he could have done more to ensure that he rejoined safely while another car was approaching. 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.
