Summary
Stewards took no further action against drivers who exceeded the 1:12.0 SC2-SC1 time limit during Qualifying, accepting their actions to avoid impeding others.
Explanation
During Qualifying, multiple drivers exceeded the 1:12.0 time limit between Safety Car lines. The Stewards reviewed timing, video, and marshalling data, and determined that all involved drivers slowed appropriately to allow faster cars to pass without impediment. As such, they concluded the drivers did not drive "unnecessarily slowly" despite exceeding the time limit, and therefore took no further action. The decision referenced Article B1.8.5 (F1 Sporting Regulations) and Article 12.2.1.i (ISC) regarding compliance with Race Director instructions.
