NOTE TO TEAMS: POST SPRINT INTERVIEW PROCEDURE

The Post-Sprint procedure requires the top three (3) drivers to be interviewed once they have got out of their cars. Should either of your drivers be among the top three (3) at the end of the Sprint we would like to ask for your co-operation in ensuring the procedure below is followed:

  • After taking the chequered flag the top three (3) drivers should return to the Pit Lane where they will find the 1,2,3 boards in front of the FIA Garages.
  • Other than the team mechanics (with cooling fans if necessary), officials and FIA pre-approved TV crews and the four (4) FIA approved photographers, no one else will be allowed in this designated

area at this time (no driver physios nor team PR personnel). At the sole discretion of the FIA Media

Delegate, the team-embedded photographer of the winning driver may also be permitted in the Parc

Fermé area at this time. There will be a designated area where the TV crews and approved photographers must remain for the duration of the Parc Fermé procedure.

x Once out of their cars, the top three (3) Drivers will be weighed by the FIA. Each Driver must remain fully attired until after they have been weighed (e.g: Helmet, Gloves, etc).

  • After the Drivers have been weighed, the Post-Sprint interviews and presentation will take place in this designated area. The interviewer will be selected by the Commercial Rights Holder.
  • The top three (3) drivers will then be escorted by the FIA Media Delegate to the FIA Press Conference located on the lower ground level of the Pit Garage Complex.
  • At the end of the FIA Press Conference(s), the top three (3) drivers will be taken to the TV pen, located at the pit entry end of the paddock, and they may be accompanied by their press officers, who should

wait to collect their drivers at the back of the Press Conference Room.

  • Drivers from 4th and beyond must proceed directly to the TV pen after they have been weighed in the Parc Fermé. Each Driver must remain fully attired until after they have been weighed (e.g.: Helmet, Gloves, etc.).
  • Any Driver from 4th and beyond who does not have a session for the written media organised after the Sprint must be available for interview at the written media zone adjacent to the TV pen once their TV interviews have concluded.
  • Drivers who retire during the Sprint are required to go to the TV pen (and written media pen if they do not have a session for the written media organised after the race) as soon as they have come back into the paddock.
