From The Stewards

To The Team Manager, Scuderia Ferrari HP Document 18 Date 27 June 2025

Time 18:39 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 44 - Lewis Hamilton Competitor Scuderia Ferrari HP

Time 17:13

Session Practice 2 Fact Unnecessary impeding of Car 12 by Car 44 in turn 4. Infringement Breach of Article 37.5 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Driver: Warning. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 44 (Lewis Hamilton), the driver of Car 12

(Kimi Antonelli), team representatives and reviewed video, team radio and in-car video evidence. The driver of Car 44, although constantly checking his mirrors after being informed by the team about Car 12 closing in, slowly moved on to the racing line on the approach to Turn 4 and thereby unnecessarily impeded Car 12 which had to take evasive action. The driver of Car 44 apologized directly after realizing his mistake. The Stewards determined that, despite the more lenient approach to impeding in Free Practice, the impeding was unnecessary and that a Warning to the driver is warranted. 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.
