No further action for Valtteri Bottas following his meeting with the stewards. 

Reported to the stewards 

The stewards want to speak to Bottas after an alleged breach of Article 27.4 of the Formula 1 regulations. This is relating to a slow entry to the final two turns on the circuit. Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel has also been called to the stewards for a similar incident with Fernando Alonso.
