Summary
The stewards decided not to penalize Valtteri Bottas for stopping before Safety Car Line 1, as the grid was crowded and he acted appropriately.
Explanation
The stewards reviewed video and in-car evidence and found that Bottas stopped before Safety Car Line 1, not reaching the grid as defined in the Race Director's Event Note. However, because the grid was extremely crowded, they determined his action was appropriate and safe, so no penalty was applied.
