    Canadian GP 16 June, 1996 Stewards' decision number 4

    Having received a report from the Race Director that U. Katayama, the driver of Car no. 18, failed to drive with due care and attention; having heard the Race Director; the Clerk of the Course; having heard the explanation of the driver U. Katayama and the team representative S. Neilson; and having reviewed the video evidence, the Stewards of the Meeting find driver U. Katayama guilty of a breach of the FIA Formula One World Championship Sporting Regulations in that he caused an avoidable collision with Car no. 16 (driver R. Rosset) at approximately 13:16.

    The Stewards of the Meeting therefore impose on driver U. Katayama a one-race ban, suspended for two races, effective immediately.

    The competitor is reminded of his right of appeal.
