FIA stewards have ordered the deletion of the lap times listed in Document 55 after finding that cars did not use the track at turns 2, 9, 11, 12, 15, 19 and 20 during the United States Grand Prix race. The table includes entries for Fernando Alonso, Oscar Piastri, Oliver Bearman and Lando Norris, among other drivers. The decision identifies breaches of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2(c) of the FIA International Sporting Code and Article B1.8.6 of the F1 Regulations. It does not say whether the lap deletions affect the final classification; competitors may appeal certain steward decisions within the applicable time limits.

This is an explicit post-race decision, not a pending investigation. The document does not specify whether the deletions affect the final classification.
