To The Team Manager, Cadillac Formula 1 Team Document 102 Date 24 May 2026

Time 20:07 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 11 - Sergio Perez Competitor Cadillac Formula 1 Team

Time 17:02

Session Race Fact Car 11 had 6 sets of blue flags displayed prior to the lapped car behind passing. Infringement Alleged breach of Appendix H, Article 2.5.5 e) of the International Sporting Code.

Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, and in-car video evidence. Although Car 11 received six blue flag signals, and at times provided room for the lapping car to overtake and reduced speed, the car behind did not overtake until after Turn 9. The Stewards determined that the driver of Car 11 took all reasonable actions and hence decide to take no further action. 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.
