Overview
- Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll skipped a Friday fan-zone appearance in Abu Dhabi after the team told them attendance was unnecessary because they sat out FP1.
- Stewards ruled the absence a breach of Article 19 fan obligations, citing reports that supporters waited for hours in the heat to see the drivers.
- The penalty totals €25,000 per driver, with €20,000 payable now and €30,000 suspended for 12 months.
- The accepted remediation includes a later appearance on the fan stage, signed team caps for spectators in Aston Martin gear, and VIP garage access plus a meeting and photo for two fans.
- Aston Martin must file a report verifying completion of these actions or the suspended portion of the fine can be enforced.
