Doc 42 - Infringement - Car 5 - Unsafe release

2026 DUTCH GRAND PRIX 21 - 23 August 2026 The Stewards From The Stewards To The Team Manager, Audi Revolut F1 Team Document 42 Date 22 August 2026 Time 14:09 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following: No / Driver 5 - Gabriel Bortoleto Competitor Audi Revolut F1 Team Time 11:29 Session Sprint Fact Car 5 was released into the path of Car 87 on the way to the reconnaissance laps. Infringement Breach of Article B1.6.2a of the FIA F1 Regulations. Decision Competitor: Warning. Reason The Stewards reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 5 was released from its garage shortly after Car 87 and blocked Car 87 from proceeding to the end of the pit lane in the fast lane. This constitutes an unsafe release, although not dangerous in nature. Due to the proximity of both garages and the very limited time between both releases, the reaction time for the team to prevent the unsafe release was extremely short. Taking all this into account in mitigation, the Stewards determine that a Warning to the team is appropriate. 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.
