To The Team Manager,

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Document 51 Date 12 September 2026 Time 19:20

The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 37) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 12 - Kimi Antonelli Competitor Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Time 17:01 Session Qualifying Fact Car 12 exceeded the time limit between the Saftety Car lines. Infringement Breach of Article B1.8.6 of the FIA F1 Regulations and Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code – Non-compliance with Race Director's Competition Notes (item 1, document 28). Decision Driver: Warning. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 12 (Kimi Antonelli), team representative and reviewed timing and in-car video evidence.

Car 12 returned to the pits after setting his final lap time in Q3 without any other cars interfering and did not comply with the delta time requirements. The driver stated during the hearing that it was difficult for him to maintain the delta due to energy management requirements and minor technical issues. However, he admitted that he could have done more to comply with the delta time.

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.
