- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed the video evidence and determined that ALO caused a collision with Schumacher (MSC) in lap 2. ALO tried to make a move on MSC at the inside at the approach to T4, but never got in a position to complete the move and made contact with the inside rear wheel of MSC’s car, causing the latter to spin. The Stewards determine that ALO is predominantly to blame.
