Fact False start.
Infringement Breach of Article 48.1 a) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision 5 second time penalty.
Reason The Stewards reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 24 moved after the four second light was illuminated and before the start signal was given, this being a breach of Art. 48.1 a). The Stewards acknowledge that the movement was very slight and no significant sporting advantage was gained and therefore impose the least severe penalty applicable to such infringement. 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.
