The stewards have deemed the clash between Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa late in the United States Grand Prix to be a racing incident.
Alonso attempted to overtake Massa at Turn 16, with the McLaren on the inside but making contact with the Williams, causing both to run wide on the exit of the corner. With the incident taking place late in the race, the stewards investigated the clash after the chequered flag and decided against taking action against either driver.
"The Stewards examined the evidence and conclude that no driver was wholly or predominately to blame for the collision," the stewards decision read.
Alonso went on to overtake Carlos Sainz and finish fifth, while Massa suffered a puncture as a result of the contact and crossed the line seventh.
Williams chief technical officer Pat Symonds declared himself unhappy with the decision, believing Alonso also gained an advantage passing Sainz later on in the race.
