McLaren Faces €5,000 Fine for Pitlane Infringement Amidst Victory Celebrations at F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Officials impose a €5,000 penalty on McLaren for pit lane violation
McLaren "generated a potentially hazardous situation".
McLaren incurred a €5,000 penalty for violating pit lane rules during the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The decision made by the stewards pertains to the team as a whole rather than any individual drivers.
Violating section 34.14 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations led to a minor penalty being imposed.
"The officials listened to the team's representative and examined footage," they remarked.
It's not out of the ordinary for team staff to head to the Parc Fermé area prior to the race ending. However, McLaren positioned their team members and gear in the pit lane while other teams were still conducting pit stops, thereby raising safety concerns.
Participants should remember that they are entitled to challenge some rulings made by the Stewards. This can be done following the guidelines outlined in Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Chapter 4 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, as long as they do so within the established deadlines.
The penalty is not expected to diminish the upbeat spirit of F1's top-performing team following their success in Baku.
