The stewards ordered deletion of listed lap times from 2026 United States GP Free Practice 2 after stating that cars had not used the track at several named turns.
In a 23 October decision, the FIA stewards ordered deletion of the lap times listed for Free Practice 2 at the 2026 United States Grand Prix. They said the listed cars had not used the track at various turns, naming Turns 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20.
The table includes entries for Lewis Hamilton and Oscar Piastri, among others. The stewards cited a breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2(c) of the FIA International Sporting Code and Article B1.8.6 of the FIA F1 Regulations; deletion was ordered under Article 12.4.1.e of the Code. The notice reminds competitors that certain steward decisions may be appealed within the applicable time limits. It does not provide a revised FP2 classification.
This is a first official report of a grouped deletion decision. The infringement basis and ordered outcome are explicit.
