Summary

The Stewards determined that Antonelli and Lawson exceeded the 1:42.0 time limit but took appropriate actions to avoid impeding others, resulting in no further action.

Explanation

The Stewards investigated two drivers, Antonelli (Car 12) and Lawson (Car 30), for exceeding the 1:42.0 time limit between Safety Car lines during Qualifying. After reviewing marshalling, timing, on-board, and CCTV data, they found that both drivers slowed to allow other drivers to pass and did not drive unnecessarily slowly. The alleged breach of Article B1.8.5 of the FIA F1 Regulations and Article 12.2.1.i of the FIA International Sporting Code was not upheld, and no further action was taken.
