The aforementioned four drivers, along with Daniil Kvyat, Alex Albo꧃n, 🦩Lance Stroll, Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon and George Russell all received formal warnings from the FIA for their roles in causing the crash.

“The s꧙tewards conclude that tꩵhe root cause of this incident was the inconsistent application of throttle and brake, from the final corner along the pit straight, by the above drivers,” the Tuscan GP stewards said.

“The stewards acknowledge the challenges the location of the control liꦗne presents at this circuit and the desire of drivers to take advantage of the restart.

“However this incident demonstrates the need for caution to be exercised in the restart situation and note that there was an extreme concertꦿina effect which dramatically increased as it moved down the field.

“We also note that some drivers might have avoided being involved in the incident had they not followed directly behind the car in front. By doing 🧸so they effectively blocked off all visibility of what was happening immediately in front of the preceding car.

“A warning has been imposed as it is the view of the ste🌜wards that no one ൩driver was wholly or predominantly to blame.”
