Time 15:20 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 13) and heard from the team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the

following:

No / Driver 4 - Lando Norris Competitor McLaren Formula 1 Team

Time 12:34

Session Practice 1 Fact Car 4 was released in an unsafe condition. Infringement Breach of Article 34.14 c) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Warning to the Competitor.

Reason The Stewards heard from the team representative and reviewed video and radio evidence. The team admitted in the hearing that they made a genuine mistake by leaving two torches/flashlights in the cockpit when releasing Car 4 from the garage. However, the driver realised directly after entering the track that some equipment was in the car and was able to secure both parts shortly after leaving the pit exit before returning slowly to the pits. The Stewards determine that the incident qualifies as a car being released in an unsafe condition, but the driver realised the problem extremely quickly and reacted adequately to prevent any unsafe or dangerous situation. This is taken into account in mitigation and a Warning to the Competitor is issued. 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.
