Summary
Liam Lawson (Car 30) investigated for failing to follow Race Director's instructions on practice starts but received no penalty due to exceptional circumstances.
Explanation
Liam Lawson (Car 30) was investigated for crossing the white line at pit exit during a practice start, violating Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code, which prohibits leaving the track without a valid reason. However, the Stewards reviewed in-car video and found that Lawson crossed the line due to another car stopping unexpectedly on pit exit. After safely passing and yielding to that car, he returned to perform the practice start as planned. The Stewards accepted that his actions were reasonable under the circumstances and imposed no penalty, though the breach was acknowledged technically. Teams were reminded of appeal rights under Article 15 ISC and JDR Chapter 5, which are excluded from regulation extraction.
