The stewards of the Grand Prix of Sao Paulo reviewed the collision between Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso in the first session of sprint qualifying and concluded that neither driver might be fully held responsible for the incident.
The stewards’ decision states that the team warned Fernando Alonso regarding the approach of Esteban Ocon, who was on a fast lap. The Spaniard moved off the racing line to let the Alpine driver pass, but “in Turn 3, Ocon lost the balance of the car and came out wide of the corner. At the same moment, Alonso moved closer to the racing line, leaving Ocon less space. The combination of these two factors led to the collision.”
As a result, the stewards decided not to impose penalties on any of the drivers.
