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

No / Driver 12 - Kimi Antonelli Competitor Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Time 15:16

Session Race

Fact Car 12 left the track four times during the race. Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 c) of the International Sporting Code. Decision 5 second time penalty imposed after the Race. Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence. The car left the track four times during the race without justifiable reason. The Stewards acknowledge that the driver did not receive a black/white flag after his third infringement but rather after his fourth infringement as one earlier infringement was only detected later in the race. However, based on the current regulations and Driving Standards Guidelines, this does not exempt the driver from complying with the regulations. As there might be some ambiguity in the relevant guidelines, the Stewards recommend the FIA revisit the current procedures and guidelines as soon as possible. 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 5 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.
