Mercedes' front-row lockout will not be altered by the stewards. The team received a fine for the incident involving Kimi Antonelli in qualifying.
The Italian driver caused the second red flag of qualifying at the Australian Grand Prix. Exiting the garage for his first run in the last session of Saturday, the youngster still had a sidepod cooling fan attached to his car.
The cooling fan then fell off, and the debris was also hit by Lando Norris.
In the end, Mercedes' one-two will not be changed by the stewards. The team is fined €7,500.
