Nico Rosberg has escaped punishment for his role in the collision with Jamie Alguersuari, but the stewards have fined him for being tardy.
The German lost control of his W02 at Turn One during Free Practice 2 and slid into the side Alguersuari's Torro Rosso, which was making its way out of the pits.
He was ordered to appear before the stewards immediately after practice, but he failed to do so as he was speaking to the media.
When he eventually did make his way to the stewards' office, they decided not to punish him for the incident due to his previous good behaviour.
"The stewards having regard to the extenuating circumstances involving the Pit Exit, the wet track and the telemetry which indicated the Driver of Car 8 was on full braking from the time where he apparently noticed Car 19, and further, taking into account Mr Rosberg's good record during his years in Formula 1, decide to impose no penalty," a statement read.
However, Rosberg copped a 10,000 Euros fine, of which 5,000 Euros will be suspended, for breaching Appendix B, Obligation of Co-operation, of the sporting code which states: "All FIA Licence-Holders and all Participants in International Events undertake to cooperate fully and entirely with any disciplinary investigation conducted by the FIA."
