Session Race Fact Incident between car 11 and car 10 in turn 2. Offence Alleged breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV Article 2 of the FIA International Sporting Code, read with Article 38.1 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence, and determined that cars 11 and 10 while transiting turns 1 and 2 side by side, with car 11 attempting an outside pass, made contact near the apex of turn 2, causing car 11 to leave the track. Both drivers contributed to the contact as car 11, who was slightly in front and on the outside of the track took a narrow line towards the apex of turn 2, while car 10 on the inside of the track, and likely not fully visible to car 11, did not take as tight a line as was possible through the apex prior to the contact. No driver is judged wholly at fault. 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.
