The stewards heard from Racing Bulls' representatives, Lawson, the Single Seater Sporting Director and members of the FIA Technical team, including the FIA Technical Delegate.

"Evidence submitted, which was accepted by all parties present, showed that after the control line at the end of his fastest lap in Q2, the driver did not lift off the power immediately," read the stewards’ decision document. "This resulted in the rate of reduction of MGU-K deployment required to achieve the regulated 'step down', not being achieved.

"The team argued that this did not provide any performance advantage however it is clear that non-compliance with the Technical Regulations is not excused if no performance advantage is gained. Further, these regulations require that a car must comply with them at all times during an event.

"The stewards note in particular that the team self-disclosed the breach however there are a multitude of precedents that require us, despite all mitigating circumstances, to impose a penalty of disqualfication where a car does not comply with the Technical Regulations."
