Summary
Post-Sprint Qualifying procedure outlines mandatory interviews, weighing, and media obligations for drivers after SQ3, with specific access restrictions.
Explanation
- The fastest driver after SQ3 must give an immediate post-session interview, followed by a Pirelli photo opportunity and a pooled TV interview at the FIA garages.
- Top three drivers must return to pit lane, remain fully attired until weighed by the FIA, and avoid unauthorized personnel in the designated area.
- Drivers outside the top three must proceed directly to the FIA scales post-session, with no food, drink, or contact before weighing.
- No press conference is held after Sprint Qualifying; pooled interviews replace it.
- Drivers who stop on track (but not to Medical Centre) must still report to FIA scales immediately.
