- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed video, timing and in-car video evidence. Zhou tried to overtake Magnussen on the inside into Turn 15, but was not able to complete the overtaking maneuver on track, left the track and gained a lasting advantage. The Stewards noted that Magnussen also went off track at the same time, but determined that this was a result of Zhou preventing Magnussen from turning in.
