- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from the driver of Tsunoda (Yuki Tsunoda) and team representatives and reviewed timing evidence and footage from the onboard camera. TSU drove a slow in lap at the end of the session without other traffic that impacted his driving. The required minimum lap time was breached without good or apparent reason. The Stewards, therefore, reprimand him for breaching the regulation.
