After hours of waiting following the qualifying session of the 2023 Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix, the FIA stewards began to clarify what happened in the chaos of Q1. During Saturday’s first round, the international federation noted that up to nine drivers would be investigated for various actions that occurred on the track, which included blocking other participants from exiting the pitlane or failing to decelerate under yellow flags.
So, and following a detailed analysis following the pilots declared, the governing body began with the publication of all the statements, starting with Fernando Alonso, Max Verstappen and George Russell, who escaped all types of punishment for preventing the rest from entering the track from the pit lane normally. In addition, Lewis Hamilton, who was also put under scrutiny for not letting up when the yellow flag was waved due to the Asturian’s spin, did not receive any penalty either.
Don’t miss anything from the 2023 Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix:
In their verdict, the stewards stated: “The stewards consider that the set of incidents occurred as a direct result of the application of the minimum lap time between SC2 and SC1, which is designed [correctamente, en nuestra opinión] to avoid the dangerous delay of the cars on the circuit during qualifying”.
“We note that there are contrary requirements for the drivers in that they must respect the minimum time, and are trying to create manageable gaps with the cars in front, but they are also required to avoid stopping unnecessarily at the pit exit or driving unnecessarily slowly. “.
The FIA stewards agreed that exiting the pitlane slowly is much less dangerous than slowing cars down in other parts of the track, which causes much greater speed differences. However, they pointed out that although the incidents at the pit exit were the lesser of two evils, a solution must be found to prevent them from happening once more.
“All parties, including the stewards, are firmly convinced that it is better to have the possibility for the cars to slow down in the pit lane or at the pit exit, rather than the potentially dangerous situation of large speed differences in “It is hoped that a better solution will be found for the pit exit, but at this time it is unknown what that would be.”
Thus, all participants in the qualifying session in the Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome They will start Sunday’s race from the original positions they achieved, with the exception of Yuki Tsunoda, who will be at the back of the pack following changing all the components in his power unit, while Logan Sargeant was endorsed ten positions and two points on his license for overtaking the Japanese himself under yellow flagsbut he was already last in the classification.
