From The Stewards

To The Team Manager, BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team Document 38 Date 29 June 2025

Time 16:14 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 43 - Franco Colapinto Competitor BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team

Time 15:23

Session Race Fact Allegedly forcing Car 87 off of the track in Turn 3 Infringement Alleged breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 b) of the International Sporting

Code. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 87 attempted an overtake on the outside on Car 43 into Turn 3, but did not have its front axle ahead of the front axle of Car 43 at the apex as required by the Driving Standards Guidelines. Therefore the Stewards determine that Car 43 was entitled to use the regular racing line without the necessity to leave space for Car 87 on the outside and Car 87 had to concede. 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.
