Atlassian Williams Racing Document 43 Date 05 October 2025 Time 00:41
The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 31), summoned (document 35) and heard from the team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:
No / Driver 55 - Carlos Sainz Competitor Atlassian Williams Racing Time 22:39 Session Qualifying Fact Car 55 exceeded the maximum limit of 85 mm on both sides of the rear wing outer area. Infringement Breach of the 2025 FIA Technical Regulations Article 3.10.10 g Decision Disqualification of Qualifying Reason The Stewards heard from the team representative of Car 55 (Carlos Sainz). During post-qualifying scrutineering, the rear wing of the car was found to be noncompliant with the Technical Regulations. The uppermost rear wing element adjustable positions were checked. The DRS in the state of deployment exceeded the maximum limit of 85 mm on both sides of the rear wing outer area. At the hearing, the Competitor admitted that, although their own measurement prior to the qualifying had shown the component to be within tolerance, the measurement subsequently conducted by the appointed FIA Officials revealed a larger gap than permitted and therefore the rear wing did not conform with the required dimension. The Competitor did not contest the measurement procedure, the methodology, or the accuracy of the measuring equipment used by FIA. The Competitor fully accepted the results of the FIA measurement and acknowledged that the rear wing fitted to the car did not comply with the requirements of the Technical Regulations. Accordingly, the standard penalty applicable to technical infringements is imposed. 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.
