2026 MONACO GRAND PRIX 07 - 09 June 2026 From The Stewards To The Team Manager, McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Document 42 Date 05 June 2026 Time 20:15 The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 41), summoned the driver and team representative (document 40) and have considered the following matter and determine the following: No / Driver 1 - Lando Norris Competitor McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Time 18:48 Session Free Practice 2 Fact The CDS did not function when the car stopped on the track. Infringement Breach of Article C9.3 of the FIA F1 Regulations. Decision The competitor (McLaren Mastercard F1 Team) is fined €30,000, €10,000 of which is suspended for a period of 12 months subject to no further breaches of this regulation. Reason The Stewards heard from the team Sporting Director and Technical Director Applied Engineering, the FIA Single Seater Sporting Director, FIA Technical Delegate, FIA Electronic Engineer and FIA electric and Hybrid Powertrain Engineer. The team admitted that for aerodynamic purposes it had placed transparent tape over the button that is required to be pressed to activate the CDS. This, in the opinion of the FIA representatives and admitted by the team, completely defeated the purpose of the CDS system, which is designed to be activated quickly by a marshal wearing protective gloves. The team conceded that it was not possible to break the tape and press the button by hand without the use of a tool. The Stewards have determined to suspend a lower amount of this penalty compared to a breach of this same regulation at the previous event, because that breach, and the subsequent penalty, should have alerted all teams to the importance of the CDS system. 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.
