To The Team Manager, Atlassian Williams Racing Document 39 Date 07 September 2025

Time 16:22 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 55 - Carlos Sainz Competitor Atlassian Williams Racing

Time 15:26

Session Race Fact Car 55 did not use the escape road at Turn 4/5 after missing Turn 4. Infringement Breach of Article 12.2.1 i) of the FIA International Sporting Code and non-compliance with Race Director's Event Notes (item 20.2, document 4). Decision Driver: Reprimand (Driving).

Reason The Stewards reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 55 locked up the front left into Turn 4, resulting the car to leave the track in Turn 4 and passed to the right of the gravel trap. Car 55 then proceeded to rejoin the track without following the escape road as prescribed in the Race Director's Event Notes. The Stewards note that in this case, other than in some prior incidents of similar nature, there were no mitigating circumstances such as other drivers impacting the braking or the line into the corner. 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.
