The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 54 & 55) and heard from the driver of Car 41 and the team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 41 (Arvid Lindblad), the team representatives and reviewed video and in-car video evidence. Car 41 was released into the path of Car 81, requiring the driver of Car 81 to take evasive action to avoid a collision. The representative of the Competitor of Car 41 acknowledged that the release was the result of an error of judgement by the team and accepted responsibility for the unsafe release.
