The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 78), have considered the following matter and determine the following:
No / Driver 6 - Isack Hadjar Competitor Oracle Red Bull Racing Time 17:03 Session Qualifying Fact The following Power Unit elements have been used: 8th Engine (ICE) 7th Turbocharger (TC) 7th Exhaust Set (EXH) 8th Power Unit Ancillary Component (PU-ANC) All Power Unit elements were replaced without the approval of the FIA Technical Delegate during parc fermé. In addition, the setup of the suspension has been changed while under parc fermé. Infringement Breaches of Article B8.2.2 (read with B8.2.3), B3.5.3 and B3.5.4 of the FIA F1 Regulations. Decision Required to start the Race from the pit lane. Reason The penalty is imposed in accordance with Articles B3.5.3 and B8.2.8 of the FIA F1 Regulations. The use of each additional PU element in this case normally carries a 5 grid place penalty. However, Oracle Red Bull Racing changed the setup of the suspension of Car 6 under parc fermé before the start of the Race, without the approval of the Technical Delegate. This is not accordance with Article B3.5.4 of the FIA F1 Regulations. In addition, the change of setup is not in accordance with Article B3.5.3 of the FIA F1 Regulations. Car 6 is therefore required to start the Race from pit lane as per Article B3.5.3b of the FIA F1 Regulations and the grid drop penalty is redundant. 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.
