Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc has been issued a three-place grid penalty for impeding Daniil Kvyat during qualifying for Formula 1’s Styrian Grand🦂 Prix.

As a result, Leclerc will start Sunday’s second consecutive race at the Red Bull Ring f👍rom 14th on the grid after he struggle💝d to the 11th-fastest time and was knocked out in Q2 in a wet qualifying session in Austria.

Leclerc was summoned to the stewards over two separate of𝔉fences in qualifying, the first of which was for failing to return to the pits immediately after a red flag was shown when Alfa Romeo’s Antoဣnio Giovinazzi stooped on track.

He was cleared of any wrongdoing for the first incident, with the♊ stewards saying: ”The red flag came at the moment the driver of Car 16 was approaching the entry of Turn 9 and the driver was fully committed to the turn.

“The driver braked hard, did not accelerate after turn 9 and considered e𒀰ntering the pit lane by crossing the white line at pit entry, but felt it would have been unsafe ꩵdo so.

"The driver reacted appropriately🎃, continued on track and drove the lap afterwards at safe speeds. Taking this into account, Stewards determine to take no further action."

The second offence was f𓄧or holding up AlphaTauri’s Kvyat through Turns 9 and 10 in Q2, and the Monegasque was subsequently found guilty and penalised, with Ferrari confirming the penalty.

Racing Point’s Sergio Perez also faced an investigation for failღing to slow for yellow caution flags during Q1 but the Styrian Grand Prix stewards decided to take no further action over the incident.

Leclerc’s penalty moves George Russell, Lance Stroll and Daniil Kvyat all up one position to 11th, 12th and 13t🎀h respectively.
