Driver Causing Extra Formation Lap Must Start from Pit Lane

In Simple Terms

If a driver causes the field to do an extra formation lap (like by breaking down or causing a problem), they must start the race from the pit lane exit instead of the grid. If they don't follow this rule, they'll get a Stop-and-Go penalty during the race.

• Driver responsible for extra formation lap must start from pit lane exit
• Stop-and-Go penalty is given if the driver fails to comply with pit lane start requirement
• This is a consequence for causing disruption to the race start procedure
• The penalty applies specifically to the driver who caused the formation lap delay
