To The Team Manager, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Document 55 Date 08 December 2024

Time 19:27 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 20 - Kevin Magnussen Competitor MoneyGram Haas F1 Team

Time 16:20

Session Race Fact Car 20 allegedly undertook a practice start at pit exit. Infringement Alleged breach of Article 12.2.1 i) of the International Sporting Code and noncompliance with Race Director's Event Note (item 10, document 13).

Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 20 pulled away from the pit exit light to start the reconnaissance laps after the pit exit light went green. Whilst the driver did rev the engine for a fraction of a second before pulling away, the Stewards do not consider this to be a practice start. 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.
