- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed the video evidence and determined that LAT was predominantly to blame for the collision. ZHO was attempting to overtake LAT on a straight approaching turn 5 and had sufficient room, taking the normal racing line. LAT pulled to the left, not leaving one car width to ZHO and resulting in significant contact between the cars.
