Session Race Fact Car 40 (Equipment) unnecessarily impeded Car 20 in the pit lane. Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 5 f) of the International Sporting Code. Decision 10 second time penalty.
Reason The Stewards reviewed pit lane CCTV, pit stop position overhead cameras and timing. The competitor "double stacked" their cars to change tyres leaving car 40 sticking out into the transition lane and thereby unnecessarily impeded Car 20 for close to ten seconds. This is not permitted by the code.
