Time 15:39 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:
No / Driver 11 - Sergio Perez Competitor Oracle Red Bull Racing
Time 14:32
Session Race Fact Alleged forcing another driver off the track. Alleged Leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage. Infringement Alleged Breach of Appendix L Chapter IV Article 2 b) and c) of the FIA International Sporting Code and Article 33.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision No further action
Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, CCTV, timing, and in-car video evidence. Perez was attempting to pass Lawson on the inside of Turn 4. Perez had a significant portion of the car to the inside of Lawson at the apex of Turn 4, however to do so he was significantly on the kerb, and in the view of the Stewards the maneuver was late. As a result his exit was not anywhere near the racing line, ran wide and Lawson had to go off track to avoid a collision. Perez gave room to Lawson to stay on track at Turn 5, but then Perez went off track at the exit of Turn 5. Perez then conceded to Lawson and did not keep any advantage. In the view of the Stewards, this was a racing incident 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.
Decisions of the Stewards are taken independently of the FIA and are based solely on the relevant regulations, guidelines and evidence presented.
