- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence and determined that Magnussen collided with Tsunoda at Turn 6. Magnussen dived into the corner, braked late and collided with Tsunoda at the exit of the corner. Tsunoda retired after the collision. We found that Magnussen was predominantly to blame for the collision.
