The following hearing of the International Court of Appeal will take place in Paris:
Hearing
Case ICA-2026-14: Appeal lodged by Audi Revolut F1 Team against Decision No. 69 of the Stewards of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, dated 6 September 2026, counting towards the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship.
On 6 September 2026, at the end of the formation lap during the race restart following a red flag, the Race Director ordered an additional formation lap.
Following the race, the Stewards investigated a potential breach of Article B5.9.4 of the 2026 FIA Formula 1 Sporting Regulations by Mr Yuki Tsunoda (Driver of Car No. 22), which requires any driver who caused an extra formation lap to start from the end of the pit lane. Failure to do so, a Stop-and-Go penalty should be imposed on the Driver. In Decision No. 69, the Stewards decided to take no further action against Mr Yuki Tsunoda.
On 9 September 2026, Audi Revolut F1 Team lodged an appeal against that decision, arguing that Mr Yuki Tsunoda had caused the extra formation lap and should therefore have received the prescribed Stop-and-Go penalty.
