Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll and Carlos Sainz have been reprimanded – but escaped grid penalties at the farcical ending to GP qualifying.
The three drivers have been discovered by stewards to get driven’unnecessarily slowly’ at the onset of the out-laps at Q3 and consequently played a”significant part in the banking up of cars in a critical point” of qualifying.
Stewards added that they”strongly advise that the FIA expedite a solution to this type of situation” to avoid a repeat of the bizarre scenes towards the end of qualifying once eight motorists missed out on a last lap time.

In a evaluation, no actions was taken by stewards for the Renault driver when he took to the track in the pit lane, heading on through the very first chicane of Monza.
Sunday’s race begins at 2.10pm, and live on Sky Sports F1 and Main Event.
‘One of the silliest things I’ve ever noticed in F1′
Monza qualifying – along with – Charles Leclerc pole victory for Ferrari over Lewis Hamilton – were obscured from the occurrences around the out lap of Q3.
After their first laps in the last shootout and Kimi Raikkonen’s crash, motorists were waiting as much as possible in the pits before going out again – looking to apply the slipstream at high-speed Monza – but just Sainz and Leclerc, who’d a rod, managed to get around to start their last laps.
Hulkenberg was the primary driver from the pits with less than two minutes remaining , ahead of the along with Stroll, Sainz Ferraris. But the Renault driver went straight on through the bollards at the Flip One chicane.
Stroll subsequently slowed down to allow Sainz through and the McLaren was subsequently using the coming Hulkenberg, effectively obstructing the track for people behind him.
He finally sped up to lead the area but with time running out, all drivers were racing each other for track position, and also to make the line before the close of the session.
With seven motorists timed out of this session as a result – including Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes cars – Sky F1’s Martin Brundle explained it as”one of the strangest things I’ve ever observed in F1″.
Renault’s Daniel Ricciardo, caught in the madness, said:”Everyone was just trying to have a bit too clever and it only encouraged everybody to make a mess.”
Mercedes manager Toto Wolff, meanwhile, described the actions of several motorists as”just junior course”.
Hulkenberg escapes chicane sanction
After qualifying to explain why he’d left the track at the chicane at the beginning of his closing outside 31, the Renault driver had been called to the stewards.
After reviewing signs that was video and GPS, stewards stated it was not clear Hulkenberg had’intentionally’ abandoned the circuit to gain an advantage.
‘The driver said he focused his attention about the automobiles which were behind him and that he left it too late to turn the corner he moved ahead into the chicane,’ read on the verdict.
‘The stewards noted he entered the corner at precisely the same rate as he did his past lap that was speedy. He was also in third gear instead of second gear he employed on his past out lap.
‘The Stewards notice the regulation refers to”deliberately” leaving the trail and in his case we are not able to determine that the motorist deliberately abandoned the trail.’
In a further stewards’ analysis on Saturday night at Monza, stewards ruled no action was demanded within a cost of leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
