Summary
Stewards took no further action against Esteban Ocon (Car 31) for allegedly driving unnecessarily slowly during VSC.
Explanation
The stewards investigated Car 31 (Esteban Ocon) for allegedly driving unnecessarily slowly during a VSC period, specifically whether the VSC delta was exceeded in several mini-sectors. After reviewing data including telemetry, timing, video, and team radio, the stewards determined no unnecessary slowness occurred and took no further action. Competitors were reminded of their right to appeal under ISC Article 15 and JDR Chapter 5, but these are procedural and not included in the regulations list.
