An official FIA stewards' document from the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix.
OutcomeRequired to start the Sprint from the pit lane - parc fermé breach
- Driver
- Bottas
- What happened
- The setup of the car has been changed while under Parc Ferme.
- Regulation cited
- Art. B3.5.3, Art. B3.5.3b
- Stewards' reasoning
- Cadillac Formula 1 Team changed the setup of Bottas under Parc Ferme, without the approval of the Technical Delegate, this not being in accordance with Article B3.5.3 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.
