To The Team Manager, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Document 36 Date 03 September 2023

Time 16:15 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 63 - George Russell Competitor Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team

Time 15:51

Session Race Fact Car 63 left the track at T1 and gained a lasting advantage. Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 c) of the International Sporting Code. Decision 5 second time penalty.

Reason The Stewards reviewed video, CCTV video, timing and in-car video evidence. Russell left the pits, and was on the inside of Ocon at the entry to turn one. However, as Russel approached the apex, he showed some lockup and went straight entering the runoff at turn one and rejoined after turn 2, passing Ocon while doing so and gaining both the position and time. Russell did not give back the position and thus gained a lasting advantage. 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.
