Nico Hulkenberg learns stewards’ fate after bizarre Belgian GP investigation
“Nico Hulkenberg received a reprimand for his pit-lane collision with Lance Stroll during Belgian Grand Prix qualifying. As the cars lined up for Q1, Hulkenberg attempted to move into the fast lane to gain right of way according to race director’s notes, but Stroll, in the Aston Martin, didn’t yield, resulting in a minor collision.
Hulkenberg had to change his front wing due to end-plate damage, while Stroll continued without issue. The incident was investigated post-session, and the stewards found both Hulkenberg and Stroll at fault for entering the fast lane when Stroll had priority, leading to Hulkenberg’s reprimand.
Despite this, no further action was taken as the stewards determined neither driver bore the primary responsibility for the collision, as outlined in their detailed explanation of the decision.”
