Decision No Further Action Reasons The Stewards heard the driver and the team representative and thoroughly reviewed Marshalling/Positioning data, timing data and on-board camera footage. Car 1 (Norris) failed to stay below the required time limit as stipulated by the Race Director’s Competition Notes. Car 1 was within the approved delta time for almost the whole lap until just before turn 17, where he was suddenly passed by Car 27. That then forced Car 1 to react to create a necessary and appropriate gap to set up a push lap. The Stewards considered this an extenuating circumstance and determined that he did not drive unnecessarily slowly. 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.
