- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from the team representative of Bottas (Valtteri Bottas). The car was unable to provide the required fuel sample. There were no mitigating circumstances. The Stewards have received a request from Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake to allow Bottas to start the race. The Stewards therefore grant permission for Bottas, Valtteri Bottas to start the race.
