Session Race Fact Car 87 was released in an unsafe condition. Infringement Breach of Article 34.14 d) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
Decision 10 second stop and go penalty. Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence. The left rear wheel was not attached to the car during the pit stop and the car was released and moved such that the rear of the car was at the end of the pit box. The regulations provide that the car must not move from the "pit stop position" and we determine that the definition of the "pit stop position" is the position where the car is normally located when it is stationary for a pit stop. Therefore a breach of the regulations has occurred and this breach requires a mandatory penalty according to the regulations, of a 10 second stop and go. 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.
