No / Driver 23 - Alexander Albon Competitor Williams Racing
Time 17:06
Session Practice 2 Fact Alleged impeding of Car 55 by Car 23 at turn 2. 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 23 (Alexander Albon), the driver of Car 55 (Carlos Sainz) and team representatives and examined video evidence and determined that Car 23 attempted to slow down and take avoiding action when informed of Car 55 arriving on a fast lap. Notwithstanding that, Car 23 ended up causing Car 55 to abort his fast lap. Both drivers agreed that he had taken reasonable action and the Stewards therefore find that the impeding was not "unnecessary". 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.
