Stewards explains decision not to penalise Lindblad for colliding with Lawson | Formula 1The stewards at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix clarified their decision not to penalise Arvid Lindblad for colliding with his teammate Liam Lawson. The collision happened when Lindblad hit Lawson's car, causing Lawson to spin, shortly after the first Safety Car restart. The stewards determined that the collision was a result of a preceding incident involving two Alpine drivers and Lando Norris.
