Time 19:13 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 53 & 54) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 27 - Nico Hulkenberg Competitor Audi Revolut F1 Team

Time 16:37

Session Qualifying Fact Car 27 was travelling slowly ahead of Car 16 in the tunnel Infringement Breach of Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code. Decision Competitor: Warning.

Reason The Stewards heard from the driver and team representative of Car 27 (Nico Hulkenberg), the team representative of Car 16 (Charles Leclerc) and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence. Car 16 was on a prep lap and Car 27 was on a cool down lap and therefore the two cars were on different speed strategies. Car 27 was advised by the team that it was "all clear behind" and this was not correct and accordingly a warning is imposed on the team. 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.
