Lando Norris is one of the Formula 1 drivers to report to the FIA stewards after the sprint shootout. The McLaren driver allegedly failed to adhere to the time limit between the safety car lines, an offence committed more often in the current F1 season.

Norris taken to task by the stewards

Norris secured pole position for the sprint race at the Grand Prix weekend in Brazil, but the McLaren driver may have to fear for that position. In that case, Max Verstappen would start from first place, but so far, no such offence has resulted in penalties. Yuki Tsunoda must also report for the same reason.
Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon have also been put on the spot. The two former teammates hit each other when Ocon lost control of his Alpine and crashed, hitting Alonso. The Aston Martin driver was unable to continue his session.
