The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:
No / Driver 18 - Lance Stroll
Competitor Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team
Time 15:00
Session Race
Fact
Forcing another driver off of the track
Infringement
Alleged breach / Breach of Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 b) of the International Sporting Code.
Decision
10 second time penalty.
2 penalty points (total of 5 for the 12 month period).
Reason
The Stewards reviewed video, timing and in-car video evidence.
STR was defending his position against GAS between T12 and T13 going off line to the right of the straight, then changed direction to the left without leaving a car width space for GAS. As a result GAS was forced off at T 13.

Decisions of the Stewards are taken independently of the FIA and are based solely on the relevant regulations, guidelines and evidence presented.
