The stewards require Aston Martin’s car 18, driven by Lance Stroll, to start the Singapore Grand Prix from the pit lane after an unapproved suspension setup change under parc fermé.
The stewards have ruled that Aston Martin’s car 18, driven by Lance Stroll, must start the Singapore Grand Prix from the pit lane. The decision says the team changed the suspension setup while the car was under parc fermé without the Technical Delegate’s approval, and continued working on the car beyond covers-on time. It cites breaches of Articles B3.5.3, B3.5.4, B3.4.3a and B3.4.3b of the FIA F1 Regulations.
The notice reminds competitors that certain stewards’ decisions may be appealed within applicable time limits, but does not say whether Aston Martin will appeal.
