From The Stewards

To The Team Manager,

MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Document 30 Date 24 August 2024 Time 15:38

The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 28) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 27 - Nico Hulkenberg Competitor MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Time 11:40 Session Practice 3 Fact Continuing on track with a significantly damaged front wing. Infringement Breach of Article 26.10 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Reprimand to the team. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 27 (Nico Hulkenberg), team representative and reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 27 hit the tyre barrier in Turn 11 and sustained damage to the front wing. However, the driver was able to continue and drove back to the pits in a slow and safe manner. As the driver is unable to assess the condition of the front wing while being in the car due to limited visibility, the team informed the driver that parts of the front wing were missing, but did not tell him to stop the car. As significant parts of the front wing were damaged, the Stewards determine that the car had significant mechanical difficulties and therefore a breach of Art. 26.10 occurred. However, the Stewards note that the incident happened shortly before the end of the lap and therefore the team deemed it to be the safest way to return the car slowly to the pits instead of stopping on track. The driver remained in full control of the car and never acted in any unsafe manner. It is also taken in account that, whereas the car lost some smaller parts on the way back, debris neither had to be removed from the circuit nor did it impact other cars on track. Given the fact that there was only a short period of time for the team to assess the damage after the car rejoined the track and considering the above facts as mitigation, the Stewards issue a reprimand to the team instead of a more severe penalty. 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.

The Stewards Decisions of the Stewards are taken independently of the FIA and are based solely on the relevant regulations, guidelines and evidence presented.
