Going rate across 19 rulings in 2022: Reprimand ×8 · No action ×7 · Fine ×3
- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed video evidence and determined that the driver of Alonso was driving slowly on the racing line between turn 12 and turn 13 and unnecessarily impeded Hamilton, requiring Hamilton to take avoiding action. Consistent with the drivers’ request for the Stewards to enforce impeding during P1 and P2 this season, the Stewards issue a Reprimand (driving).
