The FIA has decided not to issue any penalties other than a reprimand for the incident involving Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel in the pitlane.
McLaren released Hamilton just milliseconds after Vettel which saw the Brit, who eventually took second in the race, line-up side-by-side with the German going down the pitlane.
Vettel then forced Hamilton to drive extremely close to other teams pit boxes. Neither will face any penalty.
The FIA statement read: “The Stewards received a report from the Race Director regarding an incident in the pit lane involving car 2, Lewis Hamilton and car 5, Sebastian Vettel. On hearing the explanation from both driver’s and team manager’s and viewing video evidence the Steward’s decide that Sebastian Vettel drove in a dangerous manner and therefore impose a penalty of a reprimand.”
