a grand prix driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Camara, who has been drafted in to replace the axed Esteban Ocon for an earlier-than-expected F1 debut at his home Sao Paulo Grand Prix, impeded Ferrari\u2019s Leclerc during second practice on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The stewards investigated the incident and issued a warning to Camara, who they deemed had caused a dangerous situation by blocking Leclerc at one of the fastest sections of the Interlagos circuit on the run up the hill that leads onto the main straight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCar 51 [Camara] was warned multiple times that car 16 [Leclerc] was arriving on a fast lap. Yet, Car 51 was weaving and moving well into the racing line,\u201d the stewards explained in their verdict.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<div class=\"placeholder embed x\">\n<div>Loading this video will expose you to potential cookies and tracking by the provider<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cCar 16 had to take evasive action to avoid a collision by moving to the right, with a significant amount of the car off the track.
