From The Stewards

To The Team Manager, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Document 50 Date 26 November 2023

Time 17:50 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

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

Time 17:25

Session Race Fact Car 44 collided with Car 10 at Turn 6 after Car 10 locked its brakes. Infringement Alleged breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 d) of the FIA International

Sporting Code.

Decision No further action.

Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, team radio and in-car video evidence. Car 10 locked its front right tyre into Turn 6 resulting in that car approaching the turn on a slightly different line at a slightly lower speed which was obviously unexpected by the driver of Car 44.  Car 44 made light contact with the rear of Car 10 in the Turn. The Stewards determine that no driver was wholly or predominantly to blame. 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.

Decisions of the Stewards are taken independently of the FIA and are based solely on the relevant regulations, guidelines and evidence presented.
