- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed the video evidence and determined that TSU caused a collision with Stroll (STR). Tsunoda was slipstreaming Stroll along the front straight and was considerably faster on the inside at turn 1. However, he braked too late and collided with Stroll in this optimistic manoeuvre. The Stewards find him wholly at fault.
