The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 20) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:
No / Driver 6 - Isack Hadjar Competitor Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team Time 12:57 Session Practice 3 Fact Car 6 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: Warning Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 6 (Isack Hadjar), team representative and reviewed video, team radio and in-car video evidence. Car 6 left the track in Turn 4 and passed to the right of the gravel trap without following the escape road as prescribed in the Race Director's Event Notes. During the hearing the driver explained that, although travelling at a low speed in an out lap, he locked up the left front while trying to warm up his tyres. Although this is the driver's second offence of such nature during the weekend and repeat offences regularly warrant more severe penalties, the Stewards acknowledge that the incident happened at a low speed with no other cars around and no dangerous situation was caused in any way. The team and the driver were informed that another similar offence during the weekend will draw a more severe penalty. 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.
