From The Stewards

To The Team Manager, Scuderia Ferrari HP Document 41 Date 03 August 2025

Time 18:08 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 16 - Charles Leclerc Competitor Scuderia Ferrari HP

Time 16:26

Session Race Fact Car 16 moved twice towards Car 63 when defending its position on the main straight Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 e) of the International Sporting Code. Decision 5 seconds time penalty (5 seconds added to elapsed Race time).

1 penalty point (total of 1 for the 12 month period) Reason The Stewards reviewed video, telemetry and in-car video evidence. Car 63 moved to overtake Car 16 on the inside into Turn 1. Car 16 moved towards Car 63 on the main straight before braking and subsequently moved a second time, now under braking, nearly causing a collision with Car 63. The Stewards consider both moves combined to constitute erratic driving. The Stewards took into account that Car 63 succeeded in overtaking Car 16 and that there was no contact and in these circumstances apply a less severe penalty than might have been applied in different circumstances. 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.
