Reason The Stewards heard from the team representatives from Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team and Oracle Red Bull Racing and reviewed video, team radio and in-car video evidence. The competitor of Car 12 conceded that the team was in a "bit of a rush" due to the prior red flag and also noted that there was no fault that could be attributed to the driver, as he was following the instructions of the team.
