Yuki Tsunoda, Pierre Gasly and George Russell have been summoned to the F1 stewards following sprint qualifying in Belgium. The Red Bull and Alpine drivers have been called for an alleged impeding incident between the pair, which occurred during the first section of sprint qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps. Gasly is the driver at risk of being penalised, having been noted for potentially blocking the Japanese driver at Turn 17 (Blanchimont). It is a potential breach of Article 37.5 of the FIA Formula 1 sporting regulations. Meanwhile, the Briton is being investigated for failing to follow the race director's notes, specifically driving unnecessarily slowly during SQ1, potentially a breach of Article 33.4 of the same rules. It is essentially a double-summons for Tsunoda, who is being looked at for the same offence as the Mercedes driver. It was a difficult session for Tsunoda and Russell, respectively, who qualified P12 and P13. Gasly, meanwhile, was eighth-fastest - but could face a grid drop as punishment.
