Session Race
Fact Car 6 continued on track with a damaged front left wheel guard. Infringement Alleged breach of Article 26.10 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 6 (Isack Hadjar), team representative and reviewed team radio and in-car video evidence. The driver reported to the team that the wheel guard was moving. Race Control spoke with the team and in accordance with Document F1TM/07-24, which is referred to in item 11 of the Event Notes for this event and hence applicable to this event, passed the responsibility to the Team to judge if the situation was dangerous. That TM document provides that if a part of a car detaches, it can be reported to the stewards as being unsafe. The TM defines the conditions where the FIA would deem a detachment as unsafe as follows: "-Any situation of loss of control of the damaged car, apparently related to the further failure and/or detachment of the damaged component(s) from the car. ---Any situation requiring a race intervention (either VSC or SC) to remove the debris resulting from the further failure and/or detachment of the damaged component(s) from the car from the circuit. -Any situation of contact between a following car and such debris resulting from the further failure and/or detachment of the components from the car, and where the following car suffers an immediate and obvious consequence, such as damage or tyre puncture." In this particular case, none of the above conditions applied hence we determine to take no further action. 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.
