Summary
Stewards review drivers exceeding SC2-SC1 time limit but take no further action, citing appropriate conduct.
Explanation
The Stewards investigated multiple drivers who exceeded the 1:48.0 time limit between Safety Car lines during Sprint Qualifying. Despite the breach indication, no further action was taken as evidence showed drivers slowed appropriately to avoid impeding others, maintaining clear track for faster cars. The decision references Article B1.8.5 of the FIA F1 Regulations and Article 12.2.1.i of the FIA International Sporting Code regarding compliance with Race Director instructions. Drivers involved included Alonso, Antonelli, Sainz, Norris, Bortoleto, Albon, and Russell.
