Canadian Grand Prix • Infringement
Published May 22, 2026 18:31
Summary
Car 31 (Esteban Ocon) left the pit lane after the end of Free Practice 1 with a red light, but no penalty was applied due to inability to see the signal.
Explanation
During Free Practice 1, Esteban Ocon (Car 31, TGR Haas F1 Team) exited the pit lane after the session had ended, when the pit exit light was red, constituting a breach of regulation B1.6.3e. Timing data showed the car crossed the line 1.11 seconds post-session. However, video evidence indicated Ocon was so close to the pit exit line that he likely could not see the light change from green to red. Due to these mitigating circumstances, the stewards decided not to impose a penalty.
