FIA International Sporting Code - Appendix L - Chapter IV - Article 6c
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.
