Summary
The stewards decided to take no further action against Car 22 (Yuki Tsunoda) after determining the extra formation lap was caused by the Race Director's assessment, not the driver.
Explanation
The stewards investigated an alleged breach of Article B5.9.4 after an extra formation lap was commenced. They determined that the extra formation lap was triggered by the Race Director's assessment of Car 22's approach, not by the driver's actions. The car was correctly positioned in its grid box, and the team was not informed that they were considered the cause, so the stewards concluded no penalty could be imposed.
