Grid penalty for Maloney! All Formula E penalties at the Tokyo E-Prix at a glance

FIA Formula E
At the Tokyo E-Prix, as at every race in the Formula E World Championship, the stewards of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Technical and Sporting Regulations. Should they identify a breach, it is their responsibility to determine the penalty. As usual, this article provides a list of all the decisions made over the weekend.
At the 2026 Tokyo E-Prix, Chief Steward Gerd Ennser, International Steward Mathieu Remmerie and National Steward Hiroshi Matudo will take on this role. They will be supported in this by racing driver Jazeman Jaafar. The 33-year-old worked his way up through the junior series to Formula Renault 3.5, where he won the Monaco race from pole position in 2015 and finished eighth in the championship at the end of the season. He subsequently moved into endurance racing, where he enjoyed a number of successes in the LMP2 class.
Penalties in free practice
- Zane Maloney was handed a 20-place grid penalty after the gearbox on his Lola Yamaha ABT was changed once again.
- Envision Racing was fined 2,500 euros because the tyre pressure on Sébastien Buemi’s car was below the minimum pressure specified by tyre manufacturer Hankook. Instead of 1.2 bar, the tyre pressure sensors on the Envision car measured just 1.176 bar.
