- Stewards' reasoning
- The Stewards heard from Hadjar (Isack Hadjar), the team representative of Hadjar and reviewed video evidence. On the approach to Turn 1, Albon moved to the outside of the corner on the approach of Hadjar, to avoid any impeding of that car. Hadjar locked brakes and had to abort the lap. He was obviously upset with this and took what could be described as “retaliatory action” by swerving towards Albon. The Stewards regard this as not only erratic but also an action that should be discouraged and hence impose the penalty of a warning to the driver. Had the action been dangerous or resulted in a collision, a more severe penalty would have been imposed.
