FIA Decisions on Leclerc, Stroll, and Williams<\/h2>\n\n

Less fortunate was Charles Leclerc, who took 4th place: the Monegasque was at risk of being penalized for \u201cnot respecting the delta time\u201d<\/strong> during his out-lap when Bryan Bozzi requested the \u201cswap\u201d with Lewis Hamilton. The same fate befell Lance Stroll. Both were summoned to the Race Direction, but neither received a penalty. <\/p>\n\n

Meanwhile, the verdict for the Williams case is still awaited (HERE the incident and explanation<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n
