Document 69: Infringement - Car 87 - Red Light at Pit Exit
- Event: 2026 Dutch Grand Prix
- Date: 23 August 2026
- Session: Race
📋 Decision Summary
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Driver | Oliver Bearman (Car 87) |
| Competitor | TGR Haas F1 Team |
| Infringement | Breach of Article B1.6.3e of the FIA F1 Regulations |
| Decision | Driver: Reprimand (Driving) - 1st reprimand of the season |
📝 Reason
- The Stewards reviewed in-car video evidence.
- Car 87 left the pit lane when the pit exit light was red during the build-up before the race re-start following a suspension.
- While ignoring pit exit lights normally carries a heavy penalty during a live race, mitigating circumstances applied here (build-up phase, technically resumed under Article B5.15.2g).
- No advantage was gained, and no unsafe or dangerous situation was created.
- Considering the unique scenario, a reprimand is deemed appropriate.
