Time 18:59 2019 SPANISH GRAND PRIX 9 - 12 May 2019 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 37 & 38) the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 4 - Lando Norris Competitor McLaren F1 Team Time 16:15

Session Race

Fact Cars 4 and 18 collided in Turn 2. Offence Involved in an alleged Incident as defined by Article 38.1 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision No penalty is imposed. Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the driver of car 4 (Lando Norris), the driver of car 18 (Lance Stroll) and the team representatives. Car 4 attempted to pass car 18, on the outside, in turn 1 but did not in the view of the stewards, complete the overtake because the car 4 was not completely alongside car 18.  The driver of car 4 believed that he had the right to be allowed "racing room" into turn 2 whereas the driver of car 18 stated that he was on the racing line in turn 1 and had to take turn 2 by remaining on the racing line. He stated he was not aware at that point, of the location of car 4. The Stewards believe that the driver of car 4 could have backed out of the attempted overtake into turn 2 and also that the driver of car 18 might have been more aware of the possibility that car 4 could be on his inside. Accordingly, we believe that neither driver was "wholly or predominantly to blame" and therefore in accordance with Article 38.2 a) of the Formula One Sporting Regulations, "no penalty will be imposed". Competitors are reminded of their right to appeal in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code.
