Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 11 (Sergio Perez), the team representative and have reviewed video, marshalling system and telemetry evidence. As PER approached turn 11, a single yellow flag was displayed for a car in the escape road.  PER was warned by his team on the radio at the same time the signals were displayed at the corner.  Compared to his previous lap, he lifted 70 meters earlier, braked 50 meters earlier, and carried 14kph less speed into the corner.  As a result of these actions, the Stewards conclude that PER acted appropriately to the situation 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.
