Summary
Rafael Camara (Car 51) receives a reprimand for unnecessarily impeding Charles Leclerc (Car 16) during Free Practice 2.
Explanation
The Stewards determined that Car 51, driven by Rafael Camara, unnecessarily impeded Car 16, driven by Charles Leclerc, in turn 15 during Free Practice 2. Despite multiple warnings that Leclerc was on a fast lap, Camara was weaving and moving into the racing line, forcing Leclerc to take evasive action with a significant portion of his car off track. The Stewards considered the situation dangerous and, while the typical penalty for impeding in practice is a warning, they deemed a reprimand warranted. This is Camara's first reprimand of the season.
