Mark Winterbottom will not be penalised for his clash with Craig Lowndes in Race 32 at Phillip Island.
The pair came together while fighting for the lead on the final corner of the opening leg of Saturday’s 60/60 Super Sprint.
A post-race investigation concluded that no breach of the rules had been established; triggering a protest from Red Bull.
The stewards underlined their initial finding at the Sunday morning protest hearing, stating that Winterbottom had at no point breached the driving code.
Winterbottom took pole for Sunday’s second race, where he’ll line-up alongside Lowndes.
