Sporting Code.
Decision No further action.
Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence. Both cars had been fighting for position side by side from Turn 1. Car 81 was in front at the apex of Turn 2, then moves slightly to the left on the exit, as Car 22 is moving towards the entry to Turn 3 and a minor collision occurs. The Stewards determine that no driver was wholly or predominantly to blame.
