Lewis Hamilton was one of three drivers to be cleared after the stewards noted potential infringements at the Interlagos sprint start.
“This year they have these fairings over the front tyres and you pull up and then the whole grid box disappears, so you’re just guessing where to stop basically. The stewards are therefore satisfied to take no further action.” “The stewards reviewed the start sequence, as it was observed that multiple cars were potentially out of their grid box in violation of Article 8.6.1.a) of the FIA International Sporting Code, being either to the left or right of the grid box,” the verdict read.
George Russell won the sprint race to earn pole position, while Hamilton will start second.
