- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed pit lane CCTV, pit stop position overhead cameras and timing. The competitor “double stacked” their cars to change tyres leaving Lawson sticking out into the transition lane and thereby unnecessarily impeded Magnussen for close to ten seconds. This is not permitted by the code.
