From The FIA Stewards of the Meeting
To All Teams, All Officials Document 42 Date 22 April 2012 Time 19:46 In relation to the incident involving Car 8 Nico Rosberg and Car 4 Lewis Hamilton the Stewards, having heard from both drivers and team representatives Messrs R Meadows and S Michael, and having examined the video and telemetry evidence, unanimously decide to take no further action. In accordance with Article 16.1 (last paragraph) the matter was investigated after the Race. Reasons 1. The driver of Car 8 commenced his move to the right after the exit from T3 and moved to the right in a constant and continuous straight line manner, not making any sudden movements (as evidenced by telemetry and video evidence) and; 2. At the time he commenced his move, Car 4 was behind him and no part of his car was alongside Car 8 and; 3. The driver of Car 8 made the move to the right prior to the driver of Car 4 making the same move and; 4. For more than half of the distance travelled by Car 8 in moving in a straight line towards the right hand edge of the track, Car 4 remained behind Car 8 and; 5. Because the delta speed between the two cars was quite significant it was difficult for Car 8 to detect the exact position of Car 4 in relation to his own car; 6. Had a significant portion of Car 4 been alongside that of Car 8 whilst Car 4 still remained within the confines of the track, then the actions of Car 8 may not have been considered legitimate.
