No / Driver 44 - Lewis Hamilton Competitor Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team

Time 16:05

Session Practice 2 Fact Impeding of Car 18 by Car 44 at turn 13.

Offence Alleged breach of Article 37.5 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 44 (Lewis Hamilton), the driver of Car 18 (Lance Stroll) and team representatives and examined video evidence. Due to the presence of multiple cars converging on the final corners, all of which impacted the situation, the Stewards consider that Car 44 did not unnecessarily impede Car 18 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.
