Time 23:00 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 30 - Liam Lawson Competitor Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team

Time 20:50

Session Race Fact Car 30 left the track at turn 2 and gained a lasting advantage. Infringement Breach of Article 33.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision 10 second time penalty. (10 seconds added to elapsed Race time)

Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence and determined that Car 30 (Lawson) attempted to overtake Car 7 (Doohan) and in doing so left the track. While he completed the overtake before turn 1, the speed that he carried into the turn meant that he could not navigate turn 1 without leaving the track. He therefore could not successfully overtake Car 7 without leaving the track and thereby gained a lasting advantage which he did not give back. The standard penalty of 10 seconds was therefore applied. 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.
