Summary

Stewards decide no further action against Arvid Lindblad for a first-corner collision with Liam Lawson, attributing it to a chain reaction.

Explanation

The stewards reviewed video and in-car evidence of the collision between cars 41 and 30 in Turn 1 after a restart. They determined that Lindblad was caught in a chain reaction caused by an incident ahead involving Colapinto, Gasly, and Norris, and that the contact was due to restricted space rather than a blameworthy action. Therefore, no further action was taken.
