All elements above were replaced without the approval of the FIA Technical Delegate during Parc Fermé. The setup of the car has been changed while under Parc Fermé. Infringement Breaches of Articles 28.2, 40.3 and 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Required to start the Race from the pit lane. Reason The penalty is imposed in accordance with 40.9 The Power Unit elements used are in excess of the permitted number for the 2023 Championship season were used.

As the PU elements were changed without prior approval of the Technical Delegate in Parc Fermé this is not in accordance with Article 40.3 and Art 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. The competitor is therefore required to start the race from the pit lane per article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
