Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport Document 16 Date 21 June 2019 Time 17:43 2019 FRENCH GRAND PRIX 20 - 23 June 2019 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 13 & 14) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine

the following:

No / Driver 44 - Lewis Hamilton Competitor Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport

Time 15:45

Session Practice 2 Fact Incident with car 33 in turn 5. Offence Alleged breach of Appendix L, Ch IV Article 2 of the FIA International Sporting Code.

Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence, heard from the driver of car 44 (Lewis Hamilton), the driver of car 33 (Max Verstappen) and team representatives. The drivers agreed that the situation was not particularly dangerous and did not give Verstappen a lasting disadvantage in this Practice Session. Both drivers agreed that the limited rear visibility and the angle of Car 44 made it difficult for Hamilton to see the approaching car and agreed that Hamilton re-joined slowly. The Stewards could observe from the on-board video that Hamilton looked in his mirrors at least twice before attempting to re-join the circuit. 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 Article 9.1.1 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
