To The Team Manager, Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team Document 41 Date 22 August 2026

Time 13:33 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 18 - Lance Stroll Competitor Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team

Time 11:34

Session Sprint Fact The driver of Car 18 stopped his car before Safety Car Line 1 when driving to the

grid.

Infringement Breach of Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code – Non-compliance with Race Director's Event Note (item 24, document 5). Decision No penalty is applied.

Reason The Stewards reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 18 stopped before reaching Safety Car Line 1 and therefore did not reach the grid (as defined in item 24 of the Race Director's Competition Notes) under its own power. However, as the end of the grid was extremely crowded when the car reached the grid, the Stewards determine the the driver acted appropriately and stopped the car in a safe spot as close as possible to the grid. Therefore no penalty is applied.

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.
