Red Bull driver summoned to stewards after Chinese Grand Prix Sprint outing

The French driver, who finished 15th in the 19-lap showdown, was found to have breached Article 12.2.1 of the FIA International Sporting Code alongside Item 13.5 of the Race Director’s Competition Guidelines for failing to follow race director instructions during a practice start.

Hadjar, accompanied by a Red Bull representative, is scheduled to report to the stewards at 12:00 local time.

Amid his trip to the stewards, Hadjar also endured a difficult Chinese GP Sprint, as he was involved in an opening-lap collision with Kimi Antonelli.

The Mercedes driver, however, was handed a 10-second penalty for the collision.
