George Russell, Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon have all been hit with two-place grid penalties following infringements during qualifying for
All three drivers, Russell, Ocon, and Gasly, have been found guilty of impeding competitors in the pitlane by driving slowly and not staying to the left of the pit exit, resulting in the imposition of two-place grid penalties. This decision comes after a new directive was issued by the FIA to prevent drivers from obstructing each other in the pitlane. Max Verstappen had previously been reprimanded in Singapore for stopping in the fast lane of the pits, while Russell, Verstappen, and Alonso received warnings for blocking the pitlane in Mexico City. The race director’s directive stated that drivers must drive as far to the left as possible in order to allow others to pass on the right side. The positioning of all three drivers was deemed to have prevented cars behind them from overtaking.
