Summary

No further action taken against 15 drivers for exceeding SC2-SC1 time limit due to appropriate slowing for passing.

Explanation

The Stewards reviewed incidents where 15 drivers exceeded the 1:22.0 SC2-SC1 time limit during Qualifying. Despite the breach, no action was taken as all drivers slowed appropriately to allow others to pass without impeding, satisfying requirements under Article B1.8.5 (Sporting Regulations) and Article 12.2.1.i (ISC). The Stewards concluded they did not drive 'unnecessarily slowly' and thus took no further action.
