Summary

Kimi Antonelli received a warning for exceeding the prescribed maximum time between SC2 and SC1 during qualifying, but no other car was affected.

Explanation

The stewards found that Kimi Antonelli (Car 12) drove unnecessarily slowly during qualifying by exceeding the maximum delta time between SC2 and SC1 on his in-lap, a breach of Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code and the Race Director's Event Note.
