- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed video evidence, heard from the driver of Giovinazzi (Antonio Giovinazzi) and team representative. Giovinazzi left its garage when Stroll was driving in the fast lane. As a result, the two cars had contact and the front wing of Giovinazzi was damaged. The team of Giovinazzi admitted that it was their fault.
