Following an investigation into the incident in the pitlane during today's Chinese GP, the Race Stewards have opted only to reprimand Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel.
In their obvious frustration, both drivers headed into the pitlane virtually side by side, the two continuing their battle as they continued down the pitlane following their stops.
However, having investigated the incident the Race Stewards have issued the following:
"The Stewards received a report from the Race Director regarding an incident in the pit lane involving car 2, Lewis Hamilton and car 5, Sebastian Vettel. On hearing the explanation from both driver's and both team manager's and viewing video evidence the Steward's decide that Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel both drove in a dangerous manner and therefore impose a penalty of a reprimand."
The stewards at this weekend's race include former Le Mans winner and McLaren test driver, Alexander Wurz.
