News - 2026-09-27 - By Jenny Marsh

RaceFans reported marshals showed Safety Car boards during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix despite no deployment, with no official confirmation yet.

RaceFans reported marshals showed Safety Car boards to drivers during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix even though the Safety Car had not been deployed. Based on the supplied material, the incident remains unconfirmed.

The report said the boards were displayed trackside during the race despite no formal Safety Car intervention at that moment. No FIA statement or second source confirmation was included in the material provided.

Until further confirmation emerges, this should be treated as a reported incident from the Baku weekend rather than an established procedural error.
