Not only Sergio Perez but also George Russell have some explaining to do to the stewards. The Mercedes driver left the track after his crash and that is (even though there was a red flag) not in accordance with the regulations and so the young Briton possibly awaits a penalty in Austria.

While Perez has to fear a grid penalty, in Russell's case it looks like a fine will be handed out. He has already passed the stewards, so it won't be long before we hear what the stewards made of the incident.
