To The Team Manager, Williams Racing Document 27 Date 18 October 2024

Time 18:25 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 20) and heard from the drivers and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine

the following:

No / Driver 23 - Alexander Albon and 43 - Franco Colapinto Competitor Williams Racing Fact The drivers and team manager were not present at the scheduled time of the online

drivers briefing.

Infringement Alleged breach of Article 20.1 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 23 (Alexander Albon), the driver of Car 43 (Franco Colapinto) and the team representative.

The team manager explained that the team attempted to log into the video meeting but was unable to do so as the attempt was rejected by the software provider. The drivers then attempted to log in using their phones, but only one was successful and joined the meeting partway through. The team provided a printout of the message received by the software provider and the Stewards are satisfied that a genuine attempt was made to attend the meeting. The drivers and team manager agreed to meet with the Race Director to obtain any information conveyed at the meeting. Accordingly the Stewards take no further action. 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.
