FIA urged to 'consider whether changes need to be made' after Mercedes summoned in Miami.
The Miami race stewards have taken no further action against Mercedes for a pit lane infringement, however, Valtteri Bottas wasn’t as lucky as he received a three-place grid drop for the Sprint.
“As we were examining the conduct of the team in relation to this infringement , it came to our attention that a number of other teams had engaged in similar work without helmets and/or without eye protection during the session either within the pit stop position or in close proximity to it,” read the stewards’ notes.
“So, in these circumstances, penalising one team, where all or nearly all the teams may potentially have been in breach of this article in some form or the other would not serve a useful purpose.” The stewards’ verdict read: “On the straight before turn one, car 77 was being driven slowly on the racing line after finishing a fast lap, while car 81 was approaching on a fast lap. Car 81 and car 77 needed to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
