Summary

Alexander Albon receives a reprimand for not slowing under double yellow flags in FP3, with mitigating circumstances acknowledged.

Explanation

The stewards determined that Albon breached Article B1.8.4b by failing to slow for double yellow flags during Free Practice 3. Although he was not shown yellow flags or lights, a green light panel indicating the end of the yellow flag zone was visible for less than two seconds. The stewards accepted mitigation due to the driver focusing on the apex and the short reaction time, but still imposed a reprimand as a lower penalty than the usual 10-grid-place drop.
