Stewards spoke with junior drivers H Orange (assisted by S Abernethy) and C Hackett (assisted by A Poutama) regarding the incident in question.

Stewards were satisfied that the circumstances were a result of racing dynamics rather than any carelessness from either driver and subsequently, no action was deemed necessary.
