Charles Leclerc faced an investigation for failing to slow under yellow flags during final practice.
Charles Leclerc was reprimanded by the Azerbaijan Grand Prix stewards for allegedly failing to slow under yellow flags during the final practice session at the Baku Street Circuit. The stewards deemed his explanation reasonable after reviewing telemetry and video evidence. Leclerc saw movement in his peripheral vision but did not immediately recognize it as a yellow flag. He was fully under braking past the corner but failed to vary his throttle application as required by regulations. Despite no competitive advantage gained and no dangerous actions, Leclerc received a driving reprimand. Leclerc aims for his fourth consecutive pole position at Baku, where he has yet to convert any poles into victories.
