Fact Causing a collision

Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 d) of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision 5 second time penalty. 2 penalty points (total of 4 for 12-month period).

Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence and determined that Car 24 failed to slow down and brake in time and collided with Car 3 at the start of the race, just before Turn 1. The resulting collision caused a chain reaction upfront. Although this was a lap one incident, where some leeway is given to the drivers who get caught up in the middle of a number of cars, this particular incident was not one of those. Here, Car 24 got off to a slow start and simply did not slow down enough when approaching the corner, resulting in an unnecessary collision. We therefore imposed a 5 second penalty with two penalty points on Car 24. 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.
