"A protest has been lodged by Aston Martin Cognizant F1 Team against the provisional classification.

"The protest claims that a number of cars were not penalized for a breach of Article 33.3 of the Sporting Regulations. 

"A hearing will be conducted at 1830 hrs.

"In the meantime, the Stewards, having become aware of the existence of a number of deleted laps (due to exceeding track limits) that were drawn to our attention after the receipt of the protest, have requested Race Control to perform a reconciliation of all deleted laps with penalties applied. 

"We note that Race Control dealt with in excess of 100 deleted laps during the race."
