Doc 30 - Infringement - Car 27 - Failure to slow under double yellow flags

Incident Details\n\n| Item | Description |\n| :--- | :--- |\n| Driver | Nico Hulkenberg (Car 27) |\n| Competitor | Audi Revolut F1 Team |\n| Session | Free Practice 1 |\n| Fact | Failing to slow under double yellow flags |\n| Decision | Reprimand (Driving) |\n\n> Note: This is the driver’s 2nd reprimand of the season.\n\n### Reasoning\n\nThe Stewards reviewed telemetry, video, and marshalling system data. Key findings include:\n\n* Circumstances: A car stopped at the entry to Turn 5, triggering a double yellow flag. However, Car 27 had already entered the sector and passed the stopped car before the double yellow condition was initiated.\n* Driver Statement: The driver stated he did not see trackside flags or light panels, but noticed a flashing light on his steering wheel and a green light panel at Turn 7, leading him to lift the throttle.\n* Conclusion: The Stewards acknowledge the driver had limited opportunity to react due to the track layout at Turns 5 and 6. While the driver failed to fully comply with double yellow sector requirements, the circumstances warrant a reprimand rather than a more severe penalty.
