Decision No further action. Reasons The Stewards thoroughly reviewed Marshalling/Positioning data, timing data and on-board cameras. The driver concerned stayed at or above speeds necessary to stay below 1:32.0 around the vast majority of the circuit. However, the Stewards determined that the driver took appropriate actions to not impede other drivers and slowed down significantly to allow other drivers to pass while giving those drivers a clear track. The Stewards therefore determine that the driver concerned did not drive “unnecessarily slowly”, and that they were above the maximum time because they took appropriate steps, and we therefore take no further action. Note 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 5 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.
