From The Stewards

To The Team Manager,

MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Document 57 Date 30 July 2023 Time 13:09

The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 54), have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 27 - Nico Hulkenberg Competitor MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Time 12:13 Session Qualifying Fact The following Power Unit elements have been used: 5th Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) 5th Turbo Charger (TC) 5th Motor Generator Unit - Heat (MGU-H) 5th Motor Generator Unit - Kinetic (MGU-K) 3rd Control Electronics (CE)

The following Restricted-Number Components have been used: 5th Gearbox Cases and Cassettes (GBX C & C) 5th Gearbox Driveline, Gear Change Components and Auxiliary Components (GBX DL)

All elements above were replaced without the approval of the FIA Technical Delegate during Parc Fermé. Infringement Breaches of Articles 28.2, 29.2, 40.3 and 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Required to start the Race from the pit lane. Reason The penalty is imposed in accordance with 40.9 Power Unit elements in excess of the permitted number for the 2023 Championship season were used. This is a breach of Article 28.2 and incurs a grid penalty. RNC components and auxiliary components in excess of the permitted number for the 2023 Championship season were used. This is a breach of Article 29.2 and incurs a grid penalty. As the PU elements and RNC and auxiliary components were changed without prior approval of the Technical Delegate in Parc Fermé this is not in accordance with

The Stewards Article 40.3 and Article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. The competitor is therefore required to start the race from the pit lane per Article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. 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.
