All other approved photographers must remain outside of the designated area for the duration of the Parc Fermé and Podium procedure.  Competitors are reminded of Article 63.2 of the Sporting Regulations – “For the duration of the Post Race Interviews and Podium Ceremony Procedure, the Drivers finishing in race in positions 1, 2, 3 must remain attired only in their Driving Suits, 'done up' to the neck, not opened to the waist.”  Please note that there will be a slight change to the procedure starting from this event, and drivers will be called immediately for their post-race interviews as soon as they get out of their cars – there will not be any cool-down facilities in the Parc Fermé. The post-race interviews will take place in the designated area, and the interviewer will be selected by the Commercial Rights Holder.  Drivers must not interfere with Parc Fermé protocols in any way.  Once the interviews have been completed, the Drivers will be immediately escorted to the cool down area on the first floor of the Race Control Tower, where they will be weighed by the FIA.

Each Driver must remain fully attired until after they have been weighed (e.g.: Helmet, Gloves, etc.).  Any Driver from 4th and beyond who does not have a session for the written media organised after the race must be available for interview at the written media zone adjacent to the TV pen once their TV interviews have concluded.  Drivers who retire during the race are required to go to the TV pen (and written media pen if they do not have a session for the written media orgainised after the race) as soon as they have come back into the paddock.
