Scuderia Ferrari HP Document 16 Date 16 May 2025 Time 18:36
The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 12), summoned (document 14) and heard from the team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:
No / Driver 16 - Charles Leclerc Competitor Scuderia Ferrari HP Time 15:47 Session Practice 1 Fact Failed to follow the procedures in TD 003Q 2 g.ii. Infringement Breach of Article 30.5 (a) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision The competitor (Scuderia Ferrari HP) is fined €5,000. Reason The Stewards heard from the team representative of Car 16 (Charles Leclerc) and reviewed the technical data supplied by the Technical Delegate. Technical Directive 003G, point 2 g.ii, specifies that a tyre may be used more than once in a single session. It also sets out the procedures that must be followed if the team wishes to make adjustments to the tyres such as reducing tyre pressures. It requires that first, tyre temperatures must be obtained. The Team Representative admitted that these procedures were not followed, which is a breach of Article 30.5 a) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. The Stewards note that this was during a Free Practice session. In accordance with similar operational tyre infringements in the past, the Stewards issue a fine of €5,000. 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.
