T💮he Haas driver has been hit with a three-place grid penalty for failing to stay above the minimum lap time during a red flag following Oscar Piastri’s crash in Q3.

Hulkenberg has also received a penalty ജpoi🤡nt on his licence, taking him up to a total of three for the current 12 months period. 

What the stewards said 

"The Stewards heard from the driver of Car ​27 (Nico Hulkenberg), team represeꦐntative and reviewed positi🉐oning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence.

"The driver had just fi🌟nished his fastest lap and had started another push lap. He was at T1 when the red flag was displayed, however at that point he was already 1.5 seconds over his delta time. He claimed this made it extremely difficult for him to come below the delta in the next sector. He also admitted to confusion about the ♕beep signal in his headset, and therefore at one stage thought he was going too slow.

"Compౠarison of telemetry with that of Car 31 showed that in general for the rest of the lap he was approximatꦰely the same speed as Car 31 which complied with the delta times in each mini-sector. We regard this as a mitigating circumstance.

"However, the regulation is very clear and whilst there is no question of the driver acting dangerously or driving unsafely, there was a breach and thus a penalty has to be imposed. The normal penalty for failure to slow under red flags is 10 grid positions however in view of the mitigating circumsta𒁏nce, a lower penalty is ap♚propriate. We note the intention of the regulation is to ensure a car is not speeding during a red flag situation and there is no evidence that the speed was excessive in this case. 

"We also note that the driver should make himsel♎f more familiar with the operational aspects of the delta signals."

Three drivers penalised for impeding

In addition to Hulkenberg's penalty, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll all picked up 🔥post-session grid🌃 drops for impeding rivals during qualifying. 

All three 🍎drivers will be demoted three positions from where 🅷they qualified.
