Time 13:20
Session Pre-Race Fact Late attendance of pre-race drivers' parade. Infringment Breach of Article 19.4 b) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Reprimand (Non-driving).
Reason The Stewards received a report from the Media Delegate that the the driver of Car 11 (Sergio Perez), was late for the driver's parade. The Stewards heard from the team representative and the driver and determined that the driver was indeed late for the parade. The reason for the lateness was the team's media and other commercial commitments that the driver had to satisfy before turning up for the parade. We considered that this was not a valid reason for the lateness. A driver turning up late for such events can have undesirable resultant consequences for the event and should be avoided at all times. In the circumstances, we decided to impose a Reprimand (non-driving) on the driver. 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.
