Summary

Kimi Antonelli (Car 63) was given a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision with Pierre Gasly (Car 6) at Turn 6.

Explanation

The stewards determined that Car 63 (Antonelli) collided with Car 6 (Gasly) at Turn 6. They reviewed video and data, concluding that Antonelli, on the inside, did not have the right to the corner as his front axle was not level with Gasly's mirror. No mitigating circumstances were found, so the baseline 10-second time penalty was applied.
