- Russell
- What happened
- The front wing assembly has been changed while under parc ferme.
- Regulation cited
- Art. 36.2, Art. 34.2, Art. 34.6
- Stewards' reasoning
- As the front wing assembly was different to the one used during qualifying, it was replaced with the approval of the FIA Technical Delegate after a written request was made, per Article 34.2. As the part was changed while the car was in parc ferme, the competitor is required to start the race from the pit lane per Article 34.6 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
