Race

Fact

Car 12 left the track at Turn 6 on Lap 44 without a justifiable reason.

Infringement

Breach of Article B1.8.6 of the FIA F1 Regulations.

Decision

5 second time penalty.

Reason

The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence. It was evident that Car 12 left the track at Turn 6 on Lap 44 without a justifiable reason. This was the driver's fourth track limits infringement of the race. The Stewards accepted that Car 12 was experiencing a mechanical issue. However, that did not amount to a justifiable reason for leaving the track. In accordance with the Penalty Guidelines, the standard penalty for a fourth track limits infringement during the race is a 5 second time penalty. The Stewards therefore imposed the standard penalty. Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with the applicable regulations and time limits. Decisions of the Stewards are taken independently and are based solely on the relevant regulations, guidelines and evidence presented.
