Published
An official FIA stewards' document from the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix.
OutcomeRequired to start the Race from the pit lane - parc fermé breach
- Driver
- Stroll · 3/12 penalty points (rolling 12 months)
- What happened
- The following Power Unit elements have been used: 4th Energy Store (ES) 4th Control Electronics Unit (PU-CE) All Power Unit elements were replaced without the approval of the FIA Technical Delegate during parc fermé.
- Regulation cited
- Art. B8.2.2, Art. B3.5.3
- Stewards' reasoning
- The use of the 4th Energy Store and Control Electronics Unit would have resulted in a grid drop penalty, however as the Technical Delegates approval was not obtained, this means, in accordance with Article B3.5.3 of the FIA F1 Regulations a start from the pit lane.
