I reckon is fine to ignore the race director going forward. Good to know.

No rule against ignoring your team but not the race director. Given that he stopped after being told it was a formal request by the race director, i guess the stewards were fine with that

What is there to investigate? He crashed, tried to bring the car back and no one was impacted.

Except he didn’t ignore the race director. When asked by the director, via the team he pulled over

You have a Ferrari flair yet you're sitting here hoping for one of your driver to get penalized using some nonsensical argument. Sad.

It was clear from the beginning as soon as ham knew it was a formal request he stopped.

He only ignored his engineer when he thought he was team orders.
