Summary
No further action against Lando Norris for exceeding SC delta time due to extenuating circumstances.
Explanation
Lando Norris (Car 1) exceeded the SC delta time limit of 1:48.0 during Sprint Qualifying but was not penalized. The Stewards determined that Car 27 (Hülkenberg) overtaking Norris just before Turn 17 created an extenuating circumstance, forcing Norris to adjust his pace to maintain a safe gap. Review of timing, marshalling data, and on-board footage supported that Norris did not drive unnecessarily slowly. No further action was taken.
