Doc 60 - Infringement - Car 11 - Starting procedure infringement

2026 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 23 - 25 July 2026 From The Stewards To The Team Manager, Cadillac Formula 1 Team Document 60 Date 26 July 2026 Time 18:10 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following: No / Driver 11 - Sergio Perez Competitor Cadillac Formula 1 Team Time 15:02 Session Race Fact Cars 11 was out of position at Safety Car Line 1 during the formation lap. Infringement Breach of Article B5.6.4 of the FIA F1 Regulations Decision Driver: Warning. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 11 (Sergio Perez), team representative and reviewed video evidence. At the end of the formation lap, Car 11 was ahead of Car 77 at the SC1 line. The driver of Car 11 explained that, due to the relatively short pit lane at this circuit and the proximity of the last car on the grid to the pit entry, he was focused on reaching the pit exit lights as quickly as possible in order to complete the prescribed pit lane start procedure within the required timeframe. As a result, he was not aware that he had moved ahead of Car 77 before crossing the SC1 line. Having considered the matter, the Stewards determined that this constituted a breach of Article B5.6.4 of the FIA F1 Sporting Regulations. However, the Stewards also noted that Car 11 was entering the pit lane to start the race from the pit lane and hence the mandatory penalty of a pit lane start was redundant. In the circumstances, the Stewards considered that a Warning was the appropriate penalty. 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.
