Session Race Fact Incident between car 23 and car 20 in turn 18 Offence Involved in an incident defined by Article 38.1 of the FIA Formula One Sporting
Regulations
Decision 5 Second Time Penalty (2 penalty points imposed, total of 3 points in the 12 month period) Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence and determined that Albon was predominantly at fault for the collision at Turn 18. Passes at Turn 18 are unusual and difficult to execute. While Albon appeared to be the faster car the Stewards determined that he attempted the pass too late and the gap on the inside of Car 20 was always going to diminish. It appeared that he attempted to back out of the pass at the last second. The Stewards took into account that Magnussen had a slower exit from Turn 17. 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 10.1.1 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time
