Should an incident or other matter occur during the fastest lap in qualifying (or one of the lap times counted in the fastest average lap time) which gives rise to a penalty other than the disallowing or deletion of that lap time (for example a drop of grid positions imposed in respect of a yellow flag infringement on that lap) the Stewards may, if they consider it appropriate in the interests of sporting fairness, refer the case to the SRO Sporting Board. The Sporting Board will decide if the point for fastest lap will be awarded to the Team and drivers in question, or whether it will remain unattributed, or whether it should be given to the Team and drivers setting the second-fastest lap.
