Williams Racing Document 30 Date 23 November 2024 Time 19:08

The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 29), have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 43 - Franco Colapinto Competitor Williams Racing Time 18:11 Session Qualifying Fact The following Restricted-Number Components have been used: 6th Gearbox Cases and Cassettes (GBX C & C) 6th Gearbox Driveline, Gear Change Components and Auxiliary Components (GBX DL)

The front brake cooling ducts have been changed while under Parc Ferme. Infringement Breach of Articles 29.2 and 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Required to start the Race from the pit lane. Reason The RNC used are in excess of the permitted number for the 2024 Championship season. This is a breach of Article 29.2 and incurs a grid penalty. Additionally, Williams Racing changed the front brake cooling ducts of Car 43 under Parc Ferme with the approval of the Technical Delegate in accordance with Article 40.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. However, the parts are different from the ones originally used, which is a breach of Article 40.9 and Car 43 is required to start the Race from pit lane. Due to the fact that the car is required to start from the pit lane, the grid penalty does not come into effect. 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.
