Red Bull breaks curfew at Spa
The leading team in the constructors' championship, Red Bull, worked during the curfew period at the Belgian Grand Prix. But it will not be penalized.
Red Bull worked under curfew on Friday night. On the night of this Friday, July 26, the Red Bull team personnel involved in the car operation thus was present at the circuit for a period of eleven and a half hours. This period started at 10:00 pm, which is fourteen and a half hours before the scheduled start of the third practice session this Saturday, and ended three hours before the start of FP3, at 9:30 am this Saturday, as indicated in a statement by the FIA.
This moment marked the first of the two individual exceptions allowed for Red Bull during the season. As a result, no action will be taken against the team, confirming their compliance with the current regulations.
Let us recall that their driver Max Verstappen has been penalized with a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday’s race due to an engine change.
