Overview
- Charles Leclerc’s spin at Turn 10 activated double-waved yellows as Lewis Hamilton approached on a flying lap.
- Onboard footage showed the warning panel illuminated for only a fraction of a second while Hamilton was turning in.
- Telemetry indicated a brief throttle hesitation without a speed reduction that satisfied yellow-flag requirements.
- Consistent with past cases, stewards issued a reprimand instead of the guideline five-place grid penalty.
- Hamilton’s SQ2 lap was deleted and he will start the sprint from 11th, with Leclerc set to line up eighth.
