Summary
Stewards decided no further action for all drivers who exceeded the Sprint Qualifying time limit, determining they were not driving unnecessarily slowly.
Explanation
The stewards investigated multiple drivers for exceeding the 1:28.00 time limit between the Safety Car lines during Sprint Qualifying. After reviewing data, they found the drivers slowed down to allow others to pass and did not impede anyone, concluding they were not driving unnecessarily slowly. Therefore, no further action was taken against any driver.
