Warning for car #27
Offense: Leaving the track and gaining an advantage
Lap Number: 227
Offending Driver: Rory MacDuff
Explanation:
Car #27 failed to join the pit lane through the dedicated pit entry chicane, but instead took the first of the Ford chicanes and then cut across the safety car path. This is technically “leaving the track and gaining an advantage” as it saves the car from having to do a full lap before being able to pit again. Nothing of significance was gained in terms of either time nor position relative to cars around them, so a warning suffices for now.
The full decision document will be made available to the team managers after the race.
