An official FIA stewards' document from the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix.
OutcomeRequired to start the Sprint from the pit lane - parc fermé breach
- Driver
- Albon · 3/12 penalty points (rolling 12 months)
- What happened
- The setup of the car has been changed while under Parc Ferme and the team continued to work on the car beyond the covers-on time.
- Regulation cited
- Art. B3.4.2a, Art. B3.5.3b
- Stewards' reasoning
- Atlassian Williams F1 Team changed the setup of Albon under Parc Ferme, without the approval of the Technical Delegate. Furthermore, Atlassian Williams F1 Team continued to work on the car beyond the covers-on time which is a breach of article B3.4.2a of the FIA F1 Regulations. The F1 car is therefore required to start the Sprint from pit lane as per Article B3.5.3b of the FIA F1 Regulations.
