Mexico City GP stewards take no further action after Gasly incident

The stewards have taken no further action over Pierre Gasly’s race incident at the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix. Their decision, dated 1 November, lists the incident time as 16:12 and follows a Race Director report alleging a breach of Article B1.8.6 of the FIA F1 Regulations. The stewards said they reviewed positioning and marshalling-system data, video and in-car footage.

The report says Gasly’s car 10 left the track at Turn 1 and rejoined after Turn 3, then gave a position back to car 43. Car 30 passed him at Turn 4; minor contact occurred during the manoeuvre. The stewards cited 31 October guidance advising a car leaving the track at Turn 1 after a restart to yield by Turn 4, but said the correct positions had been achieved by Turn 5. They found Car 10 gained no position by leaving the track and ultimately lost one to car 30; the contact did not warrant a penalty for either driver. The notice says certain stewards’ decisions may be appealed within applicable time limits, but does not state whether an appeal has been filed.

The published reasoning focuses on the position order by Turn 5 and the fact that Car 10 did not gain a place; the stewards also said the minor contact did not merit a penalty.
