Session Reconnaissance laps

Fact The cars below exceeded the 1:55.0 time limit between the Safety Car lines.

No Car Driver Competitor Time of Day

2 77 Valtteri Bottas Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber 12:32:16

Infringement Alleged breach of Article 33.4 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations and Article 12.2.1 i) of the FIA International Sporting Code (non-compliance with the Race Director’s Event Notes, item 2, document 12)

Decision No further action.

Reasons The Stewards thoroughly reviewed Marshalling/Positioning data, timing data, on- board cameras and CCTV cameras.

All drivers concerned stayed at or above speeds necessary to stay below 1:55.0 around the vast majority of the circuit. However, the Stewards determine that all drivers concerned did not drive “unnecessarily slowly”, and therefore take no further action.

Note 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.
