- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed the video evidence and determined that Ocon was released in an unsafe manner from a pit stop. Hamilton had to take evasive action to prevent a collision. We accordingly imposed a 5-second time penalty. No penalty points were warranted as the infringement was caused by the unsafe release by the team.
