Note: Vettel excluded from the result after running out of fuel at the
end of Q3, he can start from the back of the grid however Red Bull decided to
take the car out of parc ferme to investigate the issue and will thus start the
race from pitlane. (Car 1 - Excluded - Breach of technical regulations - Article
6.6.2)
Stewards decision: The Stewards received a report from the
Race Director that car 1 failed to return to the pits under its own power as
required under Article 6.6.2 of the FIA Formula One Technical Regulations.
The Stewards heard from the driver and team representatives and studied
telemetry evidence that showed the reason why the car was stopped.
The Stewards accepted the explanation and considered the incident as being a
case of force majeure.
However a report was received from the Technical Delegate that showed during
post-qualifying scrutineering an insufficient quantity of fuel for sampling
purposes.
The Stewards determine that this is a breach of Article 6.6.2 of the FIA Formula
One Technical Regulations and the Competitor is accordingly excluded from the
results of the Qualifying Session.
The Competitor is however allowed to start the race from the back of the grid.
