- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed the video from several angles. Norris was overtaking Albon on the run up to Turn 3 from Turn 2. Norris was overtaking on the outside at Turn 3 and was at least fully alongside Albon throughout the manoeuvre. Albon drove all the way to the outside of the track, forcing Norris off. Norris at all times took appropriate actions to avoid a collision.
