Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, and Fernando Alonso were all investigated for incidents during qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix, but no further action was taken against them. Verstappen, Russell, and Alonso were investigated for impeding in the pitlane, but the stewards understood their need to create gaps in qualifying traffic and preferred them to slow at the pit exit rather than on the circuit. This was due to the implementation of a minimum lap time, which aims to avoid dangerous backing-up of cars on the track during qualifying. The stewards acknowledged that the drivers were acting in good faith and with safety as a priority. Additionally, Hamilton was not punished for allegedly not slowing enough for yellow flags caused by Alonso’s spin in Q1 because the onboard video showed no light or flag displayed to him and there was no breach of the regulations.
