- Driver
- Colapinto · 1/12 penalty points (rolling 12 months)
- What happened
- The setup of the suspension has been changed while under Parc Ferme.
- Regulation cited
- Art. 40.9
- Stewards' reasoning
- BWT Alpine F1 Team changed the setup of the suspension of Colapinto under Parc Ferme without the approval of the Technical Delegate, this not being in accordance with Article 40.9 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Colapinto is therefore required to start the Sprint from pit lane.
