- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from the driver of Gasly (Pierre Gasly), the driver of Verstappen (Max Verstappen), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, team radio and in-car video evidence. The team failed to give appropriate warning to the driver of Gasly, of the approach of Verstappen, having told him that cars behind were on a slow lap.
