18:02 – Charles Leclerc has to report to the race management from 6 pm for two alleged offenses during qualifying in Austria. The Ferrari driver, who has not yet had a best session, must therefore fear a grid penalty for the Styrian GP.
Leclerc already stranded in Q2 and came no further than eleventh in the soaking wet qualifying. Above all, it indicates that the Scuderia is still struggling, even literally and figuratively in the Austrian rain. Now Leclerc must even fear a grid penalty.
Leclerc has to answer to the stewards for two possible offenses. First of all, after the code red – caused by Antonio Giovinazzi – he did not immediately return to the pit lane. Instead of looking up the pits, he finished his flying lap first and that is against the rules. “The moment the signals [van een rode vlag] all drivers must immediately return to the pit lane at a slower speed and slow down. “Kimi Raikkonen must report to the race officials for the same offense.
In addition, Leclerc would also have hindered Daniil Kvyat during the second act of qualifying. In the latter sector, more precisely between turns nine and ten, he would have got in the way of the Russian. Leclerc must also answer for this from 6 p.m. In addition to Leclerc and Raikkonen, the unfortunate Sergio Perez must also report. The Mexican would not have gone out of gas enough in turn three after waving yellow flags there during Q1. The Racing Point driver disappointed anyway with a seventeenth time in qualifying.
