Alfa Romeo rookie Zhou Guanyu and AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda have also been called up for similar offences. Both Leclerc and Zhou’s transgressions occurred during Q1, while Tsunoda’s came in Q2.
The document from the stewards noted that the Ferrari driver was being called for an “alleged breach of Article 33.4 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations and non-compliance with Race Director’s Event Notes 4, driving unnecessarily slowly on an in-lap at 16:09”.
The article concerned notes that “at no time may a car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person”.
In the past, similar offences earned a reprimand, so Leclerc’s pole position is unlikely to be under threat.
