Event Notes

B1.8.5 At no time may an F1 Car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person. B1.8.6 Drivers must make every reasonable e‘ort to use the track at all times and may not leave the track

B4.1.1 Any driver taking part in any LTCS who, in the opinion of the stewards, stops unnecessarily on the circuit or unnecessarily impedes another driver shall be subject to the penalties referred to in Article B1.9.4. B4.1.2 Should it become necessary to stop any LTCS, the Race Director will order red flags to be shown at

B5.13.6 Withdrawal of Safety Car When the Race Director decides it is safe to end the Safety Car period, the message “SAFETY CAR IN THIS LAP” will be sent to all Competitors and the orange lights on the Safety Car will be extinguished. This will be the signal to the Competitors and drivers that it will be entering the Pit Lane at the end of that lap. At this point the first F1 Car in line behind the Safety Car may dictate the pace and may fall back from the Safety Car, exceeding the maximum allowable gap between the leader and the Safety Car defined in Article B5.13.2b. In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the Safety Car returns to the pits, from the point at which the orange lights on the Safety Car are extinguished drivers must proceed at a pace which involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor any other manoeuvre which is likely to endanger other drivers or impede the restart. As the Safety Car is approaching the Pit Entry Road the SC boards will be withdrawn and, other than on the last lap of the TTCS, as the leader approaches the Line the yellow flags will be withdrawn and a green flag and/or green light panel will be displayed at the Line. B5.13.7 Each lap completed while the Safety Car is deployed will be counted as a lap of the TTCS. However,

B3.4.1 Standard Format Competition(s) At each Standard Format Competition: a. With the exception of when a Competitor is using one of their permitted exceptions to Restricted Period 3 (Article B9.5.3), within three (3) hours of the end of FP2 all F1 Cars used during the session (or which were intended for use but failed to leave the Pit Lane) must be covered and ready for FIA seals to be applied. For the purpose of this Article only, an F1 Car is defined as consisting of all the components required to comply with the Technical Regulations with the exception of the Floor Bodywork, the Nose Bodywork, the Front Wing Bodywork and the Rear Wing Bodywork as defined in 2026 Form ula 1: Sporting Regulations 27 February 2026 B 0 SECTION B: SPORTING REGULATIONS detailed in Articles C3.5.13, C3.7.1, C3.10.12 and C3.11.8 of the Technical Regulations respectively. Components must be of a specification already used at the Competition or intended as an option at the Competition. Obsolete components or dummy components are not permitted. If the F1 Car is supported on stands, all F1 Car components must be present under the cover. The complete F1 Car, minus any exceptions described in this Article and including any non-fitted components must remain in view of the overhead camera at all times. Permitted breather, heating or cooling devices may be fitted. Failure to comply with this requirement will be equivalent to a breach of Restricted Period 3 (Article B9.5.1c.i.) and failure to comply with both Articles will be considered as a single breach. b) Three (3) hours before the start of FP3, the FIA seals and covers may be removed. B3.4.2 Alternative Format Competition(s)

B3.4.2 Alternative Format Competition(s) At each Alternative Format Competition: a. Within two (2) hours of the end of Sprint Qualifying all F1 Cars used during the session (or which were intended for use but failed to leave the Pit Lane) must be covered and ready for FIA seals to be applied. For marketing purposes this deadline may be extended for one F1 Car from each Competitor for a maximum of two (2) hours by prior arrangement with the Technical Delegate. In the case of a breach of this Article, it will also be considered that the Competitor has breached Article B3.5.7. The relevant driver will be penalised by a single penalty for the combination of both o‘ences. b. Three (3) hours before the scheduled start of the formation lap for the sprint, the seals and covers may be removed but the F1 Cars will remain under parc fermé conditions until the start of the sprint.

B2.5.3 Race Session Duration An exception to the provisions of Article B5.16.1 for the end-of-session signal will be made under the following circumstances: a. Should two hours elapse from the start signal before the scheduled Race distance is completed, the leader will be shown the end-of-session signal when they cross the control line (the Line) at the end of the lap following the lap during which the two (2) hour period ended, provided this does not result in the scheduled number of laps being exceeded. b. Should the Race be suspended (Article B5.14.2) the duration of the suspension will be added to this two (2) hour period up to a maximum total Race duration of three (3) hours, and the leader will be shown the end-of-session signal when they cross the Line at the end of the lap following the lap during which the sum of these periods ended, provided this does not result in the scheduled number of laps being exceeded. If the formation lap for the Race is started behind the Safety Car (Article B5.10), the maximum total Race duration of three (3) hours will commence at the time the green lights on the start gantry are illuminated to signal the Safety Car will leave the grid in accordance with Article B5.10.2.

B4.2.2 Practice Starts on the Grid After the end of each free practice session, as defined in Articles B2.1.1 and B2.1.2, any driver on track when the end-of-session signal is shown may carry out a practice start on the grid. Any such driver wishing to perform a practice start must: a. Cross the Line following the end-of-session signal being shown, complete one (1) further lap and proceed to the grid. b. Perform the start from a marked grid position, pulling as far forward on the grid as possible. c. Under no circumstances perform a practice start if another F1 Car remains stationary in front of them on the same side of the grid.

B4.3 Specific Provisions for Sprint Qualifying and Qualifying Session(s)

b) Cars in the fast lane have priority over those re-joining from the working lane. Once a car has left its garage or pit stop position it should blend into the fast lane as soon as it is safe to do so, and without unnecessarily impeding cars which are already in the fast lane.

d) Cars in either the fast lane or working lane may not overtake other cars in the fast lane except in exceptional circumstances e.g., a slow car with an obvious mechanical problem, a stopped car, an obstacle.

1. Observance of signals The instructions detailed in Appendix H to the International Sporting Code are deemed to be part of this code of driving conduct. All drivers must abide by them. 2. Overtaking, car control and track limits

6. Exit from the pit lane a) The section of track from the end of the pit lane leading to the track is designated the “pit exit road”. b) There will be a green light and a red light (or similar signs) at the pit lane exit. Cars may only leave the pit lane when the green light is on (or sign is displayed). c) Except in cases of force majeure (accepted as such by the Stewards), or unless otherwise defined by the Race Director, if appointed, or Clerk of the Course, any part of a tyre of a car exiting the pit lane must not cross any line painted on the track for the purpose of separating cars leaving the pit lane from those on the track. For the avoidance of doubt, crossing means that the outside of any tyre should not go beyond the outside, with respect to the pit lane, of the relevant line painted on the track. CHAPTER V - CODE OF DRIVING CONDUCT ON OFFROAD CIRCUITS 1. Observance of signals

B1.8.6 Drivers must make every reasonable e‘ort to use the track at all times and may not leave the track without a justifiable reason. Drivers will be judged to have left the track if no part of the F1 Car remains in contact with it and, for the avoidance of doubt, any white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track but the kerbs are not. Should an F1 Car leave the track the driver may re-join, however, this may only be done when it is safe to do so and without gaining any lasting advantage. At the absolute discretion of the Race Director a driver may be given the opportunity to give back the whole of any advantage they gained by leaving the track. 2026 Form ula 1: Sporting Regulations 27 February 2026 B 0 SECTION B: SPORTING REGULATIONS B1.8.7 Any driver whose car has significant and obvious damage to a structural component which results
