Scuderia Ferrari HP Document 55 Date 31 August 2025 Time 20:09

The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 47 & 48) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 16 - Charles Leclerc Competitor Scuderia Ferrari HP Time 15:46

Session Race

Fact Alleged Causing a collision. Infringement Alleged breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 d) of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 16 (Charles Leclerc), the driver of Car 63 (George Russell), team representatives and reviewed, video, timing, and in-car video evidence. Car 63 and Car 16 were involved in a collision at Turn 12. Car 63 had been ahead of Car 16 at Turn 11. Car 63 lost the position to Car 16 at the exit of Turn 12. We investigated, with the benefit of the driving standards guidelines, whether either driver should have done something different. We also looked into whether Car 16 remained on the track or left the track at Turn 12. The available evidence was inconclusive as to whether Car 16 left the track. Both team representatives were in agreement that there was no clear evidence that Car 16 had left the track. Both drivers felt that this was a racing incident and that there should be no further consequence to either driver for the incident. We reviewed all the available evidence and arrived at the same conclusion. We accordingly took 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.
