- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from Bearman (Oliver Bearman), team representative. The Stewards thoroughly reviewed Marshalling/Positioning data, timing data and on- board cameras. The driver concerned stayed at or above speeds necessary to stay below 1:52.0 around the vast majority of the circuit. However, the Stewards determined that the drivers took appropriate actions to not impede other drivers, and slowed down significantly to allow another driver to pass while giving this driver a clear track. The Stewards therefore determine that the driver concerned did not drive “unnecessarily slowly”, and that he was above the maximum time because he took appropriate steps, and we therefore take no further action.
