- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from the driver of Magnussen (Kevin Magnussen), team representative and reviewed video/audio evidence. The driver locked his brakes on entering the pit lane and overshot the pit entry. He asked his crew for instructions and was told to do a slow lap back to the pits. We note that he drove cautiously and without excessive speed.
