Explanation
The stewards found Alexander Albon (Car 23) at fault for a collision with Oliver Bearman (Car 87) at Turn 6 during the race. Albon attempted an inside overtake but locked his left-front wheel, understeering into Bearman's rear-left tyre and causing Bearman to spin. The stewards ruled that Albon was not in full control from entry to apex, violating the Driving Standards Guidelines for an inside overtake, and imposed a standard 10-second time penalty.
