- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from the driver of Bottas (Valtteri Bottas), team representative and reviewed video evidence and determined that Bottas crossed the Pit Exit Line while the red light was on. The driver stopped shortly after crossing the line and admitted his error at the hearing. We accordingly imposed a reprimand with no penalty points.
