Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have been reprimanded by the FIA's race stewards following their incident at the Chinese Grand Prix, but both walked away without any penalties.
The duo nearly collided in the pit lane after they were released at the same time by the McLaren and Red Bull pit crews.
The stewards decided to investigate the incident post-race. However, after speaking to both drivers and reviewing video evidence, they decided not to punish them.
Hamilton admitted after the race that he thought it was "okay".
"As far as I'm concerned, I thought it was okay," he said. "The team were waiting for quite some time and they waited until it was the right time; but as I came out I noticed Sebastian was there - he was pushing me a little bit to the right and we pushed wheels. Other than that, it was fair."
Vettel, meanwhile, was relieved he didn't puncture a wheel during the incident.
"I had battle with Lewis (Hamilton) in the pit lane," the German said. "At the stop I was ahead; I don't know why he pulled to the left and was keen to touch me. I hoped I didn't get a puncture from that - I don't really understand why he did that as I was a bit ahead of him and had the advantage anyway."
