From: The Stewards
To: The Team Manager, Audi Revolut F1 Team
Date: 14 June 2026
Time: 16:37
The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:
Incident Details
| Driver | 27 - Nico Hulkenberg |
| Competitor | Audi Revolut F1 Team |
| Time | 15:03 |
| Session | Race |
| Fact | Car 27 allegedly left the track and gained an advantage in Turn 2. |
| Infringement | Alleged breach of Article B1.8.6 of the FIA F1 Regulations. |
| Decision | No further action. |
Reason
The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio, and in-car video evidence.
Cars 41, 27, and 43 were alongside each other going into Turn 1 after the race start. Car 27 left the track and rejoined behind Car 41 and ahead of Car 43.
The Stewards considered the positioning of the cars before entering Turn 1 (i.e. the braking point) and the circumstances under which the cars left the track. They also took into account that the incident happened on Lap 1, Turn 1.
The Stewards determine that no lasting advantage has been gained by Car 27 and therefore take no further action.
