Scuderia Ferrari Document 61 Date 03 November 2024 Time 11:08

The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 59), have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 55 - Carlos Sainz Competitor Scuderia Ferrari Time 10:46 Session Qualifying Fact The following Power Unit elements have been used: 5th Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) 5th Turbo Charger (TC) 5th Motor Generator Unit - Heat (MGU-H) 5th Motor Generator Unit - Kinetic (MGU-K) 3rd Energy Store (ES) 3rd Control Electronics (CE) 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) All Power Unit elements and listed components were replaced without the approval of the FIA Technical Delegate during Parc Fermé. Infringement Breaches of Articles 28.2, 29.2, 40.3 and 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Required to start the Race from the pit lane. Reason The penalty is imposed in accordance with 40.9. Power Unit elements in excess of the permitted number for the 2024 Championship season were used. This is a breach of Article 28.2 and incurs a grid penalty. RNC components and auxiliary components in excess of the permitted number for the 2024 Championship season were used. This is a breach of Article 29.2 and incurs a grid penalty. As the PU elements and RNC and auxiliary components were changed without prior approval of the Technical Delegate in Parc Fermé this is not in accordance with Articles 40.3 and 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Car 55 is therefore required to start the race from the pit lane per Article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

The Stewards 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.
