During qualifying, several drivers made mistakes, leading to numerous red flags, while the other drivers had to juggle between debris and illuminated panels.
Lando Norris, on a flying lap, did not see the red flag just before starting a new lap and therefore stayed on track instead of returning to the pit lane.
By missing this information, he broke the FIA sporting regulation and has therefore been placed under investigation by the race stewards. He faces a grid penalty or the cancellation of his Q2 time.
The FIA statement specifies that article 31.6 of the FIA Sporting Code has not been respected and that car 4 did not return to the pit at 4:19 pm.
