Summary
Arvid Lindblad received a warning for exceeding the maximum time between Safety Car lines by 14.4 seconds during Sprint Qualifying, with mitigating factors including energy management and traffic.
Explanation
Car 41 (Arvid Lindblad) exceeded the maximum time between Safety Car Line 2 and Safety Car Line 1 by 14.4 seconds during SQ1. The stewards found a breach of Article 12.2.1.i of the ISC and non-compliance with the Race Director's Competition Notes. Mitigating factors included energy management demands of the 2026 cars and allowing three cars to pass, but the 14.4-second exceedance was not fully justified. A warning was imposed, with a note that energy management alone will not justify future exceedances.
