In London, it is the task of the race stewards of the FIA to check compliance with the Technical and Sporting Regulations for the last time this season. In the event of an offence, they must decide on the penalty. As usual, you will find a list of all decisions made by the Formula E race stewards in this article.
Loic Bacquelaine, Achim Loth and Alex Maunders will take on this task at the 2024 London E-Prix. They will once again be supported by former racing driver Paul Belmondo. After five years in Formula 3000, the Frenchman also spent several years in Formula 1 during his career. As usual, you will find a list of all the race stewards' decisions below.
Penalties ahead of the London E-Prix
- Jake Hughes received a three places grid penalty for the London E-Prix after causing a collision with Edoardo Mortara in Portland.
Penalties during the shakedown

- ERT also received a warning for the same reason.
Penalties during free practice on Friday
- Nyck de Vries received a reprimand for speeding during the full-course yellow simulation. A speed limit of 50 km/h applies during a full course yellow.
- Dan Ticktum received a reprimand, too, for not following the instructions from the Race Director. Ticktum did not use the escape road when cutting the chicane, he instead turned his car and reentered the track there again.

Penalties during qualifying on Saturday
- Sergio Sette Camara received another 20 places grid penalty, because the inverter on his car was switched.

- A review of the penalty imposed on Sacha Fenestraz by Nissan was rejected by the race stewards. Nissan submitted images from the World Feed, a statement from the driver and data from the car. However, the race stewards decided that no new and significant information emerged from this and upheld the penalty.
