- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed video evidence, heard from the driver of Norris (Lando Norris) and the team representative. Car No 88 had to take evasive action to avoid Car No 4 when Car No 4 was released from the garage. The team admitted that they released the car in an unsafe manner from the garage.
