Time 15:19 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 12:03

Session Sprint Fact Incident between cars 14, 18, 4 & 44 in Turn 1. Infringement Alleged breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 d) of the International Sporting Code. Decision No Further Action.

Reason The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence and determined that Cars 14, 18, 44 and 4 collided when they were navigating Turn 1 of Lap 1. The collision resulted in damage to Car 14, 18 and caused Car 4 to retire. From the video evidence, it appeared that there were at least three collisions that occurred – the first between Cars 14 & 18 and then between Car 44 and Car 14 and finally between Car 18 and Car 4. While it appeared to us that the incidents began with Cars 14 & 18, the sudden and fast arrival of Car 44 contributed to the various collisions. However, we were not able to identify one or more drivers wholly or predominantly to blame for the various collisions or any one of them. Also keeping in mind that this was in Turn 1 of Lap 1 where greater latitude is given to drivers for incidents, we took 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.
