Fact: Car 22 collided with car 94 in turn 8.

Offence: Involved in an incident as defined by Article 38.1 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations

Decision: Drop of 3 grid positions at the drivers’ next event in the season. (2 penalty points awarded, 2 points total for the 12 month period)

Reason: The Stewards heard from Jenson Button, the driver of car 22, Pascal Wehrlein , the driver of car 94 and the team representatives. The Stewards heard the explanation of BUT that he believed that after WEH gave way to the Ferrari, that WEH had lost momentum and that going into Turn 8 WEH was also going to be on the dirty line. WEH explained that he was in fact back on the racing line, at normal speed, and that he did not see BUT move to the inside as he was not expecting it. Having reviewed all the angles of video, the Stewards concluded that WEH was on the racing line, and that the move BUT made was unlikely to result in a clean pass. The Stewards did not consider the consequences of the collision which resulted from BUT trying to brake at the last moment and WEH’s interlocked wheel causing the car to turn on its side. The Stewards determined that BUT was Predominantly to Blame, under Art. 38.2a of the Sporting code and caused the incident, and therefore applied a 3 grid place penalty to BUT for his next race this season, and two penalty points.

Reason: The Stewards heard from Sergio Perez, the driver of car 11, Daniil Kvyat , the driver of car 26 and the team representatives and reviewed multiple angles of video evidence. The stewards concluded that although KVY and PER were racing for position, and that KVY could have yielded more at the second apex of Turn 18, PER was Predominantly to Blame under Art. 38.2.a for an incident that forced KVY to retire. Consistent with previous decisions, the Stewards determined that as PER was still running at the end, the penalty applied will be the same as if we had issued it during the race, and ordere
