Summary
The Stewards decided no further action against Alexander Albon after reviewing his erratic driving in the pit entry road, determining his speed reduction was to comply with delta requirements.
Explanation
The stewards investigated an alleged breach of Article 1.8.5 of the FIA F1 Regulations and Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 e) of the FIA International Sporting Code. After hearing from both drivers and reviewing video and telemetry, they concluded that Albon's speed reduction was an attempt to comply with delta requirements, and while it required a significant reaction from Piastri, it did not constitute erratic or dangerous driving. Therefore, no infringement occurred and no further action was taken.
