DecisionReprimand (Driving)

Reasoning: The Stewards reviewed in-car video and heard from the driver and team. Car 55 passed to the right of the bollard at safety car line 1 (entering the pit lane) but immediately crossed back to the track. The driver received a late instruction to stay out for energy management. While the Stewards acknowledged it was not dangerous, the rule exists to prevent safety risks. Consequently, a reprimand was issued.
