No Further Action for Hamilton

B5.13.2 During a SC Deployment At any time whilst the Safety Car is deployed: a. No F1 Car may be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person. This will apply whether any such F1 Car is being driven on the track, the Pit Entry Road, or the Pit Lane. b. All F1 Cars must reduce speed and form up in a queue behind the Safety Car no more than the maximum allowable gap of ten (10) car lengths apart. In order to ensure that drivers reduce speed su‘iciently, from the time at which all Competitors have been sent the “SAFETY CAR DEPLOYED” message until the time that each F1 Car crosses the first safety car line for the second time, drivers must stay above the minimum time set by the FIA ECU at least once in each marshalling sector and at both the first and second safety car lines (a marshalling sector is defined as the section of track between each of the FIA light panels). The stewards may impose either a 5-Second Penalty, a 10-Second Penalty, a Drive- Through Penalty or a Stop-and-Go Penalty on any driver who fails to stay above the minimum time. Once behind the Safety Car, the first F1 Car in line must stay less than the maximum allowable gap of ten (10) car lengths behind it, except under Article B5.13.6. At the sole discretion of the Race Director, the maximum allowable gap between F1 Cars, including between the first car and the Safety Car, may be increased to twenty (20) car lengths in poor visibility conditions. In such circumstance the message “LOW VISIBILITY – MAXIMUM GAP TWENTY CAR LENGTHS” will be sent to all Competitors. c. With the exception of the cases listed under i to viii below, no driver may overtake another F1 Car on the track, including the Safety Car, until they pass the Line for the first time after the Safety Car has entered the Pit Entry Road to returned to the Pit Lane. The exceptions are: i. If a driver is signalled to do so from the Safety Car, by use of the green light on the Safety Car. ii. Under Articles B5.10.6, B5.10.8, B5.13.4c, and B5.15.3. iii. When entering the pits a driver may pass another F1 Car remaining on the track, including the Safety Car, after they have reached the first safety car line. iv. When leaving the pits a driver may overtake, or be overtaken by, another F1 Car on the track before they reach the second safety car line. v. When the Safety Car is returning to the Pit Lane pits it may be overtaken by F1 Cars on the track once it has reached the first safety car line. vi. Subject to the provisions of Article B5.13.3, whilst in the Pit Entry Road, Pit Lane or Pit Exit Road a driver may overtake another F1 Car which is also in one of these three areas. vii. Any F1 Car stopping in its Designated Garage Area whilst the Safety Car is using the Pit Lane (Article B5.13.3) may be overtaken. viii. If any F1 Car slows with an obvious problem. 2026 Form ula 1: Sporting Regulations 27 February 2026 B 0 SECTION B: SPORTING REGULATIONS B5.13.3 Use of Pit Lane during a SC Deployment
