Time 15:17
Session Qualifying Fact Alleged Impeding of car 5 by car 47 in turn 13. Offence Alleged Breach of Article 31.5 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of car 5 (Sebastian Vettel), the driver of car 9
(Nikita Mazepin), the driver of car 47 (Mick Schumacher) and team representatives. The Stewards having reviewed video, radio calls to the drivers of Cars 9 and 47 and positioning/marshalling system data. There is no doubt that the lap of Car 5 was compromised however we note in particular the comment of the driver of Car 5 (VET) that "there were too many cars in the one place". There were at least 6 cars in line, preparing for a fast lap, and all of these were travelling at slow speed (some at less than 50 km/h) whereas Car 5 was approaching at up to 240 km/h. Although Car 5 was impeded, in the circumstances this was not "unnecessary impeding" (cf Article 31.5). The drivers and team representatives present, agreed. 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
