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.
