The Haas Formula 1 team has been referred to the stewards for an unusual alleged rule breach after Dutch Grand Prix qualifying
The Haas Formula 1 team has been reported to the stewards for a possible rule breach after the Dutch Grand Prix qualifying session. Their drivers, Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman, qualified in 18th and 19th positions at Zandvoort. It was noted that Haas failed to cover Bearman’s car within the required two-hour timeframe after the end of qualifying, as per article 40.6 of the sporting regulations. This breach, if confirmed, could also violate article 40.9, which prohibits changes to the car while in parc ferme. The consequences could lead to Bearman being penalized and starting from the pitlane. The team’s principal expressed disappointment at the inconsistent results that do not reflect the car’s true potential. Haas currently sits ninth in the constructors’ championship standings, trailing behind several other teams.
