An Audi Revolut F1 Team representative must report to the stewards at 14:00 over a potential unsafe release of car 98, listed for Freddie Slater. The summons is not a ruling or penalty.

The FIA has summoned an Audi Revolut F1 Team representative to report to the stewards at 14:00 at the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix. The notice, dated 30 October, concerns a potential release of car 98 in an unsafe condition at 12:56 and lists Freddie Slater as the driver.

The stewards cite an alleged breach of Article B1.6.2b.i of the FIA F1 Regulations. This is a summons, not a ruling; the document identifies no finding or penalty.

The complete FIA document is a summons concerning an alleged regulatory breach. It specifies a 14:00 appearance but makes no finding or penalty, so this is an official notice rather than a decision.
