2026 MIAMI GRAND PRIX 01 - 03 May 2026 From The Stewards To The Team Manager, Atlassian Williams F1 Team Document 28 Date 01 May 2026 Time 18:41 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 24) and heard from the team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following: No / Driver 23 - Alexander Albon Competitor Atlassian Williams F1 Team Time 16:42 Session Sprint Qualifying Fact Car 23 exceeded track limits at Turn 6 during SQ1. Infringement Breaches of Article B1.8.6 of the FIA F1 Regulations and Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 c) of the International Sporting Code. Decision The lap time of 1.30.988 of Car 23 recorded in SQ1 is hereby deleted. All lap times of Car 23 in SQ2 are deleted. Car 23 will therefore be classified in position 19 in Sprint Qualifying. Reason The Stewards heard from the team representative and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, and video evidence. During SQ1, Car 23 clearly exceeded track limits in turn 6. However this was not reported to the Stewards until SQ2 had commenced. Car 23’s time recorded on the lap that track limits were exceeded was sufficient to place it in SQ2. Hence at the time the Stewards were informed that Car 23 had left the track and that its lap should have been potentially deleted, it was already on track in SQ2. As this was an unusual situation, the Stewards have decided to settle the matter by exercising their authority under Article 11.7.1.a of the International Sporting Code by deleting the lap time of the lap in question in SQ1. As Car 23 should not have proceeded into SQ2, all lap times from SQ2 will consequently be deleted. 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.
