Six F1 drivers under investigation for Abu Dhabi GP pitcrew infringements
During the 2023 season finale at Yas Marina Circuit, several drivers, including Hamilton, Gasly, Verstappen, Sargeant, Albon, and Zhou Guanyu, were flagged for investigation for a possible pitstop infringement. The FIA stewards confirmed that the investigation would take place after the race and revealed that the infringements were related to pit crew members potentially not wearing the required eye protection during stops. According to Article 34.13 of the sporting regulations, all pit crew members working during stops must wear helmets and appropriate eye protection. The unique conditions of the Abu Dhabi race, starting under a setting sun and ending in darkness, present visibility challenges for drivers and pit crew members. Verstappen dominated the race, securing his 19th win of the season, followed by Leclerc, Russell, Perez (penalized to fourth place), Norris, and Piastri.
