Time 16:25 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 22 & 23) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 41 - Arvid Lindblad Competitor Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team

Time 14:23

Session Free Practice 1 Fact Car 41 unnecessarily impeded Car 81 into turn 12 Infringement Breach of Article B4.1.1 of the FIA F1 Regulations. Decision Competitor: Formal warning.

Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 41 (Arvid Lindblad), the driver of Car 81 (Oscar Piastri), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, team radio and in-car video evidence. The team warned the driver of Car 41 when Car 81 was 4.5 seconds behind but also previously advised that driver of Car 81 had aborted his lap.  This was not the case and was a wrong interpretation by the team engineer.  The driver of Car 41 stated that he knew Car 81 was within 4.5 seconds, as he had been told earlier by his team that the driver of Car 81 had aborted his lap, he was not as alert to his approach as he should have been.  The Stewards consider this to be a reasonable mitigating circumstance however note that similar misinterpretations in future, following this warning, may almost certainly result in more severe penalties. 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.
