A total of eight drivers - Carlos Sainz, Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo, Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, Antonio Giovinazzi, Nicholas Latifi and Nikita Mazepin - were all under investigation foꦫr failing to respect double-waved yellow flags when Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel crashed.

All drivers except Latifi and Mazepin were cleared of any wrongdoing, with the pair handed 30s penaltie𓆏s and three pe🍎nalty points each.

Vettel and Raikkonen themselves were also summone༺d to see the stewards for their collision which occurred on the final lap of Sunday’s race.

Raikkonen was handed a drive-through penalty from the stewards for the incid꧑🌃ent, which was converted to a 20-second time penalty, meaning his final result was unaffected.

The pair - who had been running outside of the top-10 at the time and battling over 12th place - tangled at Turn 5 and ended up spearing off into the gravel꧋ on the final tour of the 71-lap race.

Double-yellow flags were waved for the incident, with🎐 th🐓e aforementioned eight drivers investigated for failing to slow down sufficiently.

In addition, Williams driver George Russell also saw the stewards in the Sp🐠ielberg paddock for allegedly moving under braking in defence againsౠt Raikkonen.

The incident was cleared as no further action.
