Reason
The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, and in-car video evidence.
- Although Car 11 received six blue flag signals, and at times provided room for the lapping car to overtake and reduced speed, the car behind did not overtake until after Turn 9.
- The Stewards determined that the driver of Car 11 took all reasonable actions and hence decide to take no further action.
Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Chapter 5 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
