Evidence Admissibility

Chapter: D9

In Simple Terms

The FIA stewards can use basically any reliable information to determine facts during investigations - whether it's admissions from teams, witness testimony, documents, financial records, or technical data. There are no strict rules about what type of evidence they can consider, as long as it's trustworthy.

  • No formal restrictions on what types of evidence stewards can use to investigate incidents
  • Multiple evidence sources accepted including admissions, testimony, documents, and technical data
  • Stewards have flexibility to establish facts using any reliable means available
  • Financial data analysis and metadata are explicitly allowed as evidence
