To The Team Manager, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Document 65 Date 06 September 2026

Time 16:55 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 63 - George Russell Competitor Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team

Time 16:17

Session Race Fact Allegedly the driver failed to slow for a single yellow flag at Turns 1 and 2. Infringement Alleged breach of Appendix H, Article 2.5.5 b) 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. No yellow flag and no steering wheel light was visible to the driver through the yellow flag sector.  A green light panel was visible as the car neared the end of the sector and the telemetry demonstrated that the driver did make a reduction in throttle. 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.
