The US team’s case relates to potential track limits transgressions by Williams driver Alex Albon, who finished ninth in the race on 22 October. If it is decided that Haas’ case does not meet that threshold, the allegations against Albon will not be examined and the result will stand. Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg finished 11th in the race, 3.2 seconds behind Albon. Should Albon be found guilty of exceeding track limits at Turn Six more often than permitted, the likely penalty would be five seconds added to his race time, which would promote Hulkenberg into the final points position. Albon was investigated after the race on the subject of track limits offences at Turn Six but no action was taken.
