Summary
Esteban Ocon had his lap time deleted for failing to slow sufficiently under double waved yellow flags during Sprint Qualifying.
Explanation
The stewards deleted Esteban Ocon's lap time after he passed through a double waved yellow flag sector without sufficiently reducing speed, as required by Article B1.8.4b of the FIA F1 Sporting Regulations. This rule mandates that drivers must slow significantly and be prepared to stop when encountering double waved yellow flags. The decision serves as a reminder to all teams about compliance under yellow flag conditions.
