Time 16:28 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 55 - Carlos Sainz Competitor Atlassian Williams Racing

Time 15:39

Session Race Fact Causing a collision with Car 30 at turn 1 Infringement Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 d) of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision 10 second time penalty. 2 penalty points (total of 4 for the 12 month period).

Reason The Stewards reviewed video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence. Car 55 was attempting to overtake Car 30 on the outside of Turn 1. The front axle of Car 55 was not ahead of the front axle of Car 30 at the apex of Turn 1. Car 55 attempted to stay on the outside of Car 30 and a collision occurred. We considered that Car 30 had the right to the corner and therefore Car 55 was wholly or predominantly to blame for the collision. As is standard for a collision of this nature and as prescribed under the guidelines, we imposed a 10 second time penalty on Car 55. 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.
