The stewards have reached a decision after Max Verstappen complained of Carlos Sainz's driving in qualifying.
Carlos Sainz has escaped with a warning after being called to the stewards for ‘erratic driving’ during qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix.
This led to Verstappen complaining over team radio and the stewards decided to investigate the moment after the session, but Sainz has escaped without a grid penalty or reprimand.
“During the hearing the driver of Car 55 stated that he could not afford being passed by another car as he had to stay below the maximum lap time between SC lines 2 and 1.
