Bojan Vrbnjak
He qualified for the 14th starting position in the qualifiers, but the commissioners punished him with three places of punishment and a penalty point, which will be attributed to him in the racing license, due to obstruction Lance Stroll at his fast lap. He was sentenced after reviewing video and audio recordings, GPS data and telemetry.
Giovinazzi apparently overlooked Stroll after arriving on the track, driving his fast lap, causing the Canadian to lose quite some time and failing to qualify for Q2. The Commissioners also saw as an aggravating circumstance the fact that Giovinazzi, during turn no. 3 and 4 have already been indicated by a blue flashing light (flag).
Lance stroll, who was visibly disappointed after the end of qualifying, failed to break through to Q2 due to Giovinazzi's obstruction, and will start the race from the nineteenth starting position before RKubico rotation in Williams.
Another Racing Point driver was also involved in a minor affair, Czech Perez, who resisted Ricciard’s attempt to start the fast lap ahead of him and Grosjean, causing the Australian to qualify in Q1.
Well, nothing was better for the Mexican, who won the 17th starting position. After qualifying, Perez was angry at the Australian and understandably accused him of ruining both of them in the fast lap.
