- Stewards' reasoning
- The Power Unit elements have been changed. The setup was modified whilst the car was in parc fermé without the approval of the Technical Delegate. The wing setup has been changed from that previously used in Qualifying. The competitor is therefore required to start the race from the pit lane per article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
