2 penalty points (total of 8 for the 12 month period). Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence and determined that Car 2 overtook Car 27 while the race was under Safety Car. Car 27 was coming out of the pits and Car 2 was approaching on the main straight. At the SC2 line, Car 27 was ahead of Car 2. Car 2 then overtook Car 27 and did not give the place back. This breached Article 55.8 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. We accordingly imposed a 10 second time penalty on Car 2.
