From The Stewards

To The Team Manager, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Document 55 Date 18 November 2023

Time 23:12 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 22:49

Session Race Fact Car 63 collided with Car 1 at Turn 12. 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 the 12 month period).

Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence. Car 1 was gaining on Car 63 on the approach to Turn 12, and had a significant portion of the car alongside Car 63 at the apex.  The driver of Car 63 appeared not to expect Car 1 to overtake in the turn and subsequently, in turning into the corner, collided with Car 1. 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.
