Date 29 March 2019 Time 18:14 2019 BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX 28 - 31 March 2019 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 8 and 9) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine
the following:
No / Driver 27 - Nico Hulkenberg Competitor Renault F1 Team
Time 15:27
Session Practice 1 Fact Alleged causing a collision with car 99 in turn 7. Offence Alleged breach of the FIA International Sporting Code Appendix L Chapter IV Article
2(d). Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the driver of car 27 (Nico Hulkenberg) and the driver of car 99 (Antonio Giovinazzi) and the team representatives. Neither car was on a push lap, car 27 had just let car 7 pass, and believed car 99 was going slow. Car 99 then sped up and passed car 27 on the inside when the driver of car 27 was not expecting it to do so, remaining on the racing line. The Stewards believe that this was a misunderstanding by the driver of car 27 and a presumption by the driver of car 99. Competitors are reminded of their right to appeal in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code.
