Lots of time penalties, grid penalty for Cassidy! All Formula E penalties at the Jakarta E-Prix at a glance

As at every race weekend, the race stewards of the FIA will once again have the task of checking compliance with the Technical and Sporting Regulations at the Jakarta E-Prix. If they find an offence, they must also determine the penalty. As usual, you will find a list of all the weekend's decisions in this article.</p

Loic Bacquelaine, Gerd Ennser and Dani Sarwono will take on this task at the Jakarta E-Prix 2025. As in Tokyo and Shanghai, they will be supported by driver steward Alexander Yoong. The Malaysian drove a total of 14 Formula 1 races for Minardi in 2001 and 2002 and was team-mates with Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber at the time. After his time in formula racing, he drove endurance and GT races, where he became champion in the Audi R8 LMS Cup three times in a row from 2014 to 2016.

Penalties in free practice

• Sebastien Buemi received a reprimand for driving very slowly between turns 17 and 18 in order to leave a gap to the car in front for a fast lap. In doing so, he violated the instructions of the race director, who had expressly forbidden such behaviour.
• Lucas di Grassi also received a reprimand for the same reason.
• Nissan was fined 2,500 euros because the tyre pressure on Oliver Rowland's car was above the maximum permitted by supplier Hankook. While the teams drive with as little tyre pressure as possible in dry conditions, it is the other way round in wet conditions.
• Envision also received a fine of 2,500 euros because the tyre pressure on Robin Frijns' car was above the maximum permitted.
• DS Penske received a further fine of 2,500 euros. Max Günther's tyre pressure was also above the permitted maximum.
• Lucas di Grassi was fined 1,100 euros for speeding in the pit lane. The FIA's measuring devices showed 61 km/h, 11 km/h more than permitted.

Penalties in qualifying

• Pascal Wehrlein received a 3 places grid penalty for driving very slowly between turns 17 and 18 in order to leave a gap to the car in front for a fast lap in qualifying. In doing so, he violated the instructions of the race director. This penalty dropped him from P14 to P17. In addition, Wehrlein got 2 penalty points.

• Nick Cassidy got a 20-places grid penalty because his inverter was changed after qualifying. However, as the final grid for the race in Jakarta had already been published at this point, he was penalised for the first race of the Berlin E-Prix.

Penalties before, during and after the race

• Lucas di Grassi received a reprimand because he performed a burnout when leaving the pit lane and driving onto the grid. This was contrary to the race director's instructions. It is the second reprimand of the season for the Brazilian. If he receives another one before the end of the season, he will automatically be receiving a ten-places grid penalty.
• Jean-Eric Vergne was handed a five-second time penalty for causing a collision with Mitch Evans. The Frenchman also received a penalty point.
• Oliver Rowland also received a five-second time penalty for the collision with Max Günther. This dropped him from 7th to tenth position. Rowland also received a penalty point.
• Sebastien Buemi also received a five-second time penalty for a collision with Edoardo Mortara. Instead of third, the Envision driver only finished eighth. An additional penalty point was also awarded here.
• Zane Maloney was given a drive-through penalty for using too much power on laps 17 to 19.
• Nyck de Vries was handed a ten-second time penalty for causing a collision with Jake Dennis. As de Vries' manoeuvre was classified as dangerous, the penalty was higher than for other collisions. The Mahindra rider also received two penalty points on his racing licence.
• David Beckmann was given a warning for defending himself against an attack by Robin Frijns at the end of the start-finish straight with a late lane change in the braking zone.
• David Beckmann subsequently received a five-second time penalty because he left more than ten car lengths behind the safety car. As a result, he dropped back to 16th place again behind Jean-Eric Vergne. Beckmann also received a penalty point.
