Camara reprimanded for dangerous impeding of Leclerc in Brazil

Formula 1 newcomer Rafael Camara has received an official reprimand from the stewards over an incident with Charles Leclerc during the second practice session at Interlagos. Camara was driving for Haas, his first day in an official track session.

The stewards said Camara had been warned several times that Leclerc was approaching on a fast lap, yet he continued weaving and moved well into the racing line. Leclerc was forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision, moving right with a significant part of his car off the track. The stewards described the situation as clearly dangerous.

While the typical penalty for impeding in a free practice session is a warning, the stewards considered a reprimand warranted in this case.
