- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from Piastri (Oscar Piastri), Lindblad (Arvid Lindblad), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence. On the approach to turn 1 Piastri attempted an overtake on the outside of Lindblad. Piastri was never fully alongside Lindblad so was not able to claim the right to the corner. Through turn 1, Lindblad defended his position by releasing the brakes however does not force Piastri off the track, allowing racing room on the outside - which he is not required to do. The Stewards determined that the collision could have been avoided if Piastri had moved further to the left after turn 1, even if this involved leaving the track prior to turn 2.
