The stewards ruled that the argument regarding the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix incident involving Valtteri Bottas was significant but not new, available, or relevant. They discarded McLaren’s cited incidents as precedent, deeming them not new or relevant. Regarding Albon’s position, the stewards acknowledged its significance but found it was not new or relevant. They also emphasized the need for formal regulations to clarify drivers’ behavior under the Safety Car.
McLaren accepted the outcome of the petition decision and respected the stewards’ ruling. They expressed gratitude for the stewards’ time and collaboration while acknowledging that the evidence presented did not meet the requirements for a right to review.
