The stewards' report on Antonelli read: "The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 12 (Kimi Antonelli), team representative and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry and in-car video evidence. 

"The driver of Car 12 was not shown a yellow flag or yellow light panel however his dash did very briefly display a yellow indication which then disappeared.  The driver passed two cars then the team advised him to abandon the lap as there was concern that perhaps there was a double yellow flag condition (when in fact there was not). 

"The driver then abandoned the lap.  No sporting advantage was gained. In view of the mitigating circumstances and consistent with previous similar incidents a reduced penalty of a Reprimand is imposed."
