The aforementioned four drivers, along with Daniil Kvyat, Alex Albon, Lance Stroll, Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon and George Russell all received formal warnings from the FIA for their roles in causing th✅e crash.

“The stewards conclude that the root cause of this incident was the inconsistent application of throttle and brake, from the final corner along the pit straight, by the above drivers,” the Tuscan GP sﷺtewar💟ds said.

“The stewards acknowledge the challenges the location of the control line presents at this circuit and the desire of drivers to take advantage of 🎃the restart.

“However this incident demonstrates the need for caution to be exercised in 🦂the restart situation and note that there was an extreme concertina effect which dramatically increased as it moved down the field.

“We also note that some drivers might have a♊voided being involved in the incident had they not followed directly behind th𒉰e car in front. By doing so they effectively blocked off all visibility of what was happening immediately in front of the preceding car.

“A warning has been imposed as it is the view of the stewards that no one ♓driver was wholly or p꧂redominantly to blame.”
