Charles Leclerc has avoided disqualification from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix but Ferrari has been fined for a fuel breach.
Ferrari were referred to the stewards before the lights even went out at the Yas Marina circuit, with FIA Formula 1 technical delegate Jo Bauer noting there was a “significant difference between the declaration of the team and the amount of fuel inside the car”.
Due to the matter arising so close to the race start, Leclerc was permitted to start the race and finished on the final step of the podium behind race winner Lewis Hamilton and second-placed Max Verstappen.
That result now officially stands after the FIA just issued Ferrari with a 50,000 Euro fine.
