To The Team Manager, BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team Document 82 Date 04 May 2025

Time 20:38 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 73) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine

the following:

No / Driver 10 - Pierre Gasly Competitor BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team

Time 16:54

Session Race Fact Car 10 failed to slow for a waved yellow flag. Infringement Breach of Appendix H, Article 2.5.5 b) of the International Sporting Code. Decision Warning.

Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 10 (Pierre Gasly), the team representative and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence. The driver did not slow down for the yellow flag and admitted in the hearing that he neither saw a yellow flag nor any stopped car. However, looking at the footage available, it is evident that the yellow flag was only shown from one marshal post and was shown against a yellow background in a very quick part of the track. In addition to that, there was no light panel in place at that point and therefore neither the team nor the driver got any visual or audible warning. The car causing the yellow flag also was not visible from the driver's perspective as it was hidden behind an exit. The Stewards consider all this as a unique scenario and, taking all these mitigating circumstances into account, issue a Warning to the driver. 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.
