It is not yet completely certain whether
Lance Stroll can maintain his pole position. There are quite a few drivers 'under investigation'. They might not have gone off the throttle enough during Q1 under the yellow flag. Whether this is actually the case is currently being investigated by the FIA race director.
It's about Russell, Sainz, Ricciardo, Gasly, Stroll, Magnussen, Bottas, Perez, Norris, Hamilton and Ricciardo. It is therefore not entirely out of the question that
Max Verstappen will start from pole position on Sunday at
Istanbul Park.
It is also unclear what the penalty will be for a violation under yellow flags. More clarity will follow soon.
Will there still be grid penalties?
Update | Stroll must go to the stewards
The international motorsport federation has just announced that Stroll will have to answer to the stewards.
