- Albon · 3/12 penalty points (rolling 12 months)
- What happened
- The setup of the suspension has been changed while under parc fermé.
- Regulation cited
- Art. B3.5.3
- Stewards' reasoning
- Required to start the Sprint from the pit lane. Atlassian Williams F1 Team changed the setup of the suspension of Albon under parc fermé, without the approval of the Technical Delegate. This is not accordance with Articles B3.5.3 and B3.5.4 of the FIA F1 Regulations. Albon is therefore required to start the Sprint from pit lane as per Article B3.5.3 b) of the FIA F1 Regulations.
