Summary
The stewards found Sergio Pérez predominantly at fault for a collision with Lance Stroll, but applied no penalty as a 5-second time penalty was not possible and would not convert to a grid drop.
Explanation
The stewards investigated an incident where Sergio Pérez (Car 11) collided with Lance Stroll (Car 18) at Turn 16 during the Sprint. It was determined that Pérez was predominantly at fault after locking up his front right wheel during an overtaking attempt. Although a 5-second time penalty was deemed appropriate, it was not applied because Pérez was not classified in the session and the penalty would not convert to a grid drop. The weather conditions and difficulty of braking were also considered. The decision explicitly states no penalty is applied.
