Overview
- The team received two €25,000 fines for Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, with €15,000 of each suspended for 12 months pending no repeat.
- The breach stemmed from failing to attend a mandatory Fan Zone appearance required under Article 19.2(c) ahead of Friday’s P1 session.
- Stewards rejected Aston Martin’s claim the drivers were not expected because they missed FP1, noting that fans had waited several hours.
- Aston Martin agreed to additional engagement this weekend, including a Fan Zone visit, signed caps for fans in team gear, and a two-person garage tour with a photo opportunity.
- The FIA said the fine’s proceeds will support initiatives to encourage regional fans to become motorsport officials or participate in grassroots competition.
