Time 17:28 2020 BRITISH GRAND PRIX 30 July - 2 August 2020 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 8 - Romain Grosjean Competitor Haas F1 Team Time 14:50

Session Race

Fact Moving under braking in turn 6 Offence Breach of Article 27.4 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations

Decision Warning

Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the driver of Car 8 (Grosjean) and the driver of Car 3 (Ricciardo) and their team managers. Moving under braking when another car is approaching has been identified by the drivers as a very dangerous manoeuvre. Grosjean was given a black and white flag by the Race Director for moving under braking with Sainz. The stewards reviewed this case with Grosjean and Ricciardo. They also reviewed the video of the incident between them. Grosjean explained that in both cases his moves were before the braking zone, although in the second case, it was closer. When it was put to the drivers that these were late moves in relation to the approaching car, or "Movement in Reaction", and also potentially dangerous, they agreed on this as a general principal. Ricciardo agreed that this situation, while close, was manageable by him as the following driver. The Stewards issued a Warning, with the admonition that late movement in reaction to drivers following is also considered potentially dangerous and will be scrutinised by the Stewards. 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 limits.
