To The Team Manager,

Audi Revolut F1 Team Document 49 Date 12 September 2026 Time 19:07

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 5 - Gabriel Bortoleto Competitor Audi Revolut F1 Team Time 16:07 Session Qualifying Fact Car 5 exceeded the time limit between the Safety 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 5 (Gabriel Bortoleto), team representative and reviewed timing and in-car video evidence. Car 5 had to make way for another car in the middle sector of the lap but did not recover enough time to comply with the required delta time. The driver stated during the hearing that it was very difficult for him to maintain the delta after letting the other car by due to energy management requirements. The Stewards have sympathy for the fact that energy management with these cars is extremely difficult, but determine that the driver could have done more to comply with the delta. 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.
