Should either of your drivers be among the top three (3) at the end of qualifying we would like to ask for your co-operation in ensuring the procedure below is followed: • If they take the chequered flag at the end of Q3, the fastest three (3) drivers should return to the Pit Lane where they will find the boards from 1,2,3 in front of the FIA garages. • Other than the team mechanics (with cooling fans if necessary), officials and FIA pre-approved television crews and the four (4) FIA approved photographers, no one else will be allowed in this designated area at this time (no driver physios nor team PR personnel). At the sole discretion of the FIA Media Delegate, the team-embedded photographer of the pole position driver may also be permitted in the Parc Fermé area at this time. • Once out of their cars, the top three (3) Drivers will be weighed by the FIA. Each Driver must remain fully attired until after they have been weighed (e.g: Helmet, Gloves, etc). • After the Drivers have been weighed, the Post-Qualifying interviews will take place in this designated area. The interviewer will be selected by the Commercial Rights Holder. • If any of the top three (3) drivers is in the Pit Lane at the end of the session, the team should ensure that they go directly to the designated area once the other drivers have arrived there. • At the end of the live interviews the drivers will be led to the backdrop for the Top 3 and Pirelli Award photo opportunities. • The top three (3) drivers will then conduct a pooled TV interview at the back of the FIA Garages. They will then be escorted by the FIA Media Delegate to the FIA Press Conference located on the ground floor of the media centre building on the opposite side of the track to the paddock. • Drivers eliminated in Q1 and Q2, drivers classified from 4th to 10th in Q3 and drivers who did not participate in Q1 but are eligible to race must also conduct a pooled TV interview immediately after they have been weighed by the FIA at the end of the last part of qualifying in which they participated. This will take place at the back of the FIA garage.
