From The Stewards

To The Team Manager, Oracle Red Bull Racing Document 37 Date 24 October 2026

Time 15:48 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 33) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine

the following:

No / Driver 6 - Isack Hadjar Competitor Oracle Red Bull Racing

Time 13:29

Session Free Practice 3 Fact Car 6 was driven in a manner that was regarded as erratic following an incident

involving Car 23 at Turn1

Infringement Breach of Article B1.8.5 of the FIA F1 Regulations. Decision Driver: Formal warning.

Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 6 (Isack Hadjar), the team representative of Car 6 and reviewed video evidence. On the approach to Turn 1, Car 23 moved to the outside of the corner on the approach of Car 6, to avoid any impeding of that car.  The driver of Car 6 locked brakes and had to abort the lap.  He was obviously upset with this and took what could be described as "retaliatory action" by swerving towards Car 23. The Stewards regard this as not only erratic but also an action that should be discouraged and hence impose the penalty of a warning to the driver. Had the action been dangerous or resulted in a collision, a more severe penalty would have been imposed. 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.
