- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from the driver of Vettel (Sebastian Vettel), the driver of Gasly (Pierre Gasly) and team representatives, and examined video, team radio and telemetry evidence. The Stewards note that almost certainly there was “dirty air” created by Vettel which did have an “impact” on Gasly however the Stewards determine that this does not amount to “unnecessarily impeding”.
