Haas and Williams worked under curfew on Friday evening
Both teams will not be sanctioned for working under curfew, as it is one of the two exceptions they benefit from.
It was a long evening for the personnel of the teams Haas and Williams. They were still immersed in the preparations for the qualification and thus worked under curfew on Friday night, as indicated by the FIA in a statement. This period of 10 hours and 30 minutes, which started at 11:00 PM on June 2nd, or 1:30 PM before the scheduled start of Free Practice 3, ends three hours before the scheduled start time of the Free Practice 3 session.
It was about the first of the two individual exceptions authorized for these two teams during the 2023 season. Therefore, no action should be taken.
These exceptions allow teams to prepare optimally, in accordance with the current regulations. A decision that highlights the importance given to fairness and balanced preparation for all teams in competition. Sports officials recognize the need to provide each competitor with optimal conditions to compete against opposing forces on an equal footing.
