The setup of the suspension has been changed while under Parc Ferme.
Offence
Parc fermé breach - every ruling & the going rate →
Going rate across 4 rulings: Fine ×3 · +10s ×1
Regulation cited
Art. 40.9
Stewards' reasoning
Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber changed the setup of the suspension of Zhou under Parc Ferme, without the approval of the Technical Delegate. This is not in accordance with Article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Zhou is therefore required to start the Sprint from pit lane.
