From The Stewards

To The Team Manager, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Document 34 Date 18 October 2025

Time 14:06 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 87 - Oliver Bearman Competitor MoneyGram Haas F1 Team

Time 12:32

Session Sprint Fact Car 87 left the track in Turn 12 while defending to Car 12 and maintained his position

by doing so.

Infringement Breach of Article 33.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision 10 second time penalty.

Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence. Car 12 was attempting an overtake on Car 87 on the inside into Turn 12 and had its front axle ahead of the mirrors of Car 87 prior to and at the apex. Therefore Car 12 had the right to use the full width of the track. Car 87 left the track on the outside while defending and rejoined the track in front of Car 12. The Stewards determine that Car 12 attempted a legitimate overtake, earned the right to the racing line according to the Driving Standard Guidelines and did not deliberately force Car 87 off track, whereas Car 87 gained a lasting advantage from leaving the track by maintaining its position. 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.
