Car 18, driven by Lance Stroll, failed to start the formation lap during the Sprint session due to mechanical problems on the grid. The vehicle was removed, repaired, and subsequently started the race from the pit lane. The Stewards reviewed video, team radio, and in-car evidence, citing B5.6.1 (participation in the formation lap) but accepted the mechanical failure as mitigating circumstances. No penalty was imposed.
