Summary
Lap times deleted for Russell and Antonelli during Free Practice 3 due to double yellow flags.
Explanation
During Free Practice 3 at the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, the stewards deleted the lap times of George Russell (car 14) and Kimi Antonelli (car 63) after they passed through a double waved yellow flag zone. The action was taken per the Race Director’s Competition Notes (item 11, document 21), which mandates lap time deletion under such circumstances. No regulations were explicitly cited in the document text as breached. The drivers were reminded of their right to appeal under Article 15 of the ISC and Chapter 5 of the JDR, but these are procedural and not substantive rule citations.
