Session Sprint Qualifying Fact The setup of the car has been changed while under Parc Ferme and the team continued to work on the car beyond the covers-on time. Infringement Breaches of Articles B3.4.2a and B3.5.7 of the FIA F1 Regulations.

Decision Required to start the Sprint from the pit lane. Reason Atlassian Williams F1 Team changed the setup of Car 23 under Parc Ferme, without the approval of the Technical Delegate. Furthermore, Atlassian Williams F1 Team continued to work on the car beyond the covers-on time which is a breach of article B3.4.2a of the FIA F1 Regulations. The F1 car is therefore required to start the Sprint from pit lane as per Article B3.5.3b of the FIA F1 Regulations.

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
