Oscar Piastri has kept his third place from qualifying at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after being cleared following an impeding investigation.
The McLaren driver was called to the stewards for allegedly obstructing Alpine’s Pierre Gasly during Q3, but he was cleared of any wrongdoing and will start from his P3 grid position for the race. Gasly confirmed that he was not impeded, and the data supported this claim, showing that he was at full throttle and set a personal-best mini sector time. The stewards reviewed various pieces of evidence, including telemetry, video footage, and team radio communications. Despite struggling in the earlier parts of qualifying, Piastri was able to put everything together and perform well in the final session.
