Sergio Perez secured fourth place on the grid in qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix, but the Red Bull Racing driver has yet to go before the stewards. Perez has to go to the stewards after possibly violating track limits in Turn 8 during Q2.

When the race committee noticed that Perez might not have coloured entirely within the lines, it was no longer possible to take the time away from the 32-year-old driver. Q3 was already underway.

Commenting on the incident, Helmut Marko told Sky's German branch: "The timing of the decision is incomprehensible." Perez will have to go to the stewards at 19:00 local time to explain the incident. It is possible that the Mexican will receive a retrospective (grid) penalty.
