- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from the driver of Stroll (Lance Stroll), the driver of Sainz (Carlos Sainz) and team representatives and examined video evidence. Due to the presence of multiple cars converging on the final corners, all of which impacted the situation, the Stewards consider that Stroll did not unnecessarily impede Sainz and take no further action.
