- The Stewards heard from the driver of Norris (Lando Norris), the driver of de Vries (Nyck de Vries), team representatives and examined video evidence. The team released de Vries from its garage when Norris was approaching. The driver of de Vries reacted and stopped before reaching the fast lane. Both drivers reacted in an appropriate manner and no contact occurred.
