As a result, he drops six places on the grid.

The stewards announced on Saturday evening: "The stewards heard from the driver of car ​10 (Pierre Gasly), the driver of Car ​55 (Carlos Sainz), team representatives and reviewed positioꦦning/marshalling sy✨stem data, video, team radio and in-car video evidence.

“The driver of car 10 stated he was aware that the second Ferrari (Car 55) was behi💝nd but felt he could do nothing to avoid impeding because of the high speed delta and closeness of car 55 to car 16. However it is the view of the Stewards that he couꦰld have moved further to the right at the exit of turn 13.”

With regards to the Verstappen block, the stewards noted: “The stewards heard from the driver of car ​10 (Pierre Gasly), the driver of car one (Max Verstappen), team representatives and reviewed 𝓀positioning/marshalling system data, video, team radio and in-car video evidence.

“The team failed to give appropriate warning to thꦅe driver of car 10, of the approach of car one, having told him that cars behind were on a slow lap.”
