The Ferrari driver and Alfa Romeo pair were each investigated for going over the 1m54-second maximum lap time delta during the first segment ꦗof qualifying at Suzuka. But all three were cleared by the stewards. 

It was announced ahead of the weekend that the FIA would 🧔again enforce a maximum time limit on all laps during qualifying, having not done so in Singapoꦗre. 

“All drivers stayed♒ at or above speeds necessary to stay below 1’54 around the vast majority of the circuit,” the stewards noted. 

“However, in all cases the stewards determined that the drivers took appropriate actions to slow and stay to the side to the track so as to not impede other drivers, and in all cases, the💛y did this significantly to allow four or more drivers to pass while giving those drivers a clear track.

“The stewards therefore determine that they did not drive ‘unnecessarily slowly’, and that evidently the reason they were all slightly above the ﷺmaximum time was due to their appropriate actions and take no further action.”

Explaining his incident before the stewards’ verdict was announced, Leclerc said: “I think as soon as they look into it they will understand p𒁃retty easily I’ve been sent in the worst position possible in Q1 and I had to let cars past wherever I could,” Leclerc said before the decision was announced.

“I think I had 10 seconds to recover in sector two and three, but that wasn’t enough. I recovered five seconds, I was fast🐷er than the delta as soon as I let the traffic past but there was too much traffic.”
