The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 83) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 3 - Max Verstappen Competitor Oracle Red Bull Racing Time 13:14

Session Race

Fact Crossed the white line at pit exit. Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV Article 6 c) of the International Sporting Code. Decision 5 second time penalty imposed after the Race. (5 seconds added to elapsed Race time). Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 3 (Max Verstappen), team representative and reviewed, video and in-car video evidence. When the incident occurred there was limited video evidence to make a clear decision on whether an infringement had occurred. We therefore decided to investigate the incident after the race, to see if we could get better video evidence of the incident in the meantime, perhaps from other angles. We were able to do so. The new angles did show more views of the pit exit line and the incident in question. The driver of Car 3 explained that he was driving out of the pit exit and rejoined the race under full course yellow. The Stewards determined that the outside of the front left-hand tyre did cross the outside of the solid white pit exit line in violation of Appendix L, Chapter IV Article 6 c) of the International Sporting Code. Given the nature of the infraction the Stewards elected to impose a penalty of 5 seconds.

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.
