Document 17 Date 22 October 2021

Time 15:02 2021 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX 21 - 24 October 2021 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 14, 15) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 47 - Mick Schumacher Competitor Uralkali Haas F1 Team Time 12:27 Session Practice 1 Fact Cars 11 and 47 collided in turn 12. Offence Alleged breach of Article 2 (d) Chapter IV Appendix L of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 11 (Sergio Perez), the driver of Car 47 (Mick Schumacher) and team representatives and reviewed the video and telemetry evidence.  Car 11 was overtaking car 47 as both approached the entrance to turn 12. The driver of car 47 was aware that car 11 was behind him, but did not expect an overtaking manoeuvre at that point and was more focused on a slower car in front of him.  He turned in for the apex and at that point realized that car 11 was there, but could not give him additional room at that point. Similarly, car 11 thought car 47 was aware of his presence and was going to give him room at the apex.  Whilst both cars were on fast laps, it is noted that due to different practice profiles, car 11 was using DRS on the straight between turns 11 and 12, while car 47 was not, resulting in an unusually high closure rate.  Both drivers agreed that the other driver was not predominantly at fault for the incident. The Stewards agree and take no further action.

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 Chapter 4 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
