F1 LIVE | Stewards reveal verdict on Hamilton's Brazil GP incident

Lewis Hamilton found himself in the crosshairs of the stewards after his elimination from Sprint Qualifying at the Brazil Grand Prix.

The Scuderia Ferrari driver appeared to be experiencing a nightmare scenario, having not only suffered a surprise SQ2 elimination but also been summoned by the stewards for a double-yellow-flag infringement.

During the Friday session, Hamilton had swooped past teammate Charles Leclerc after the Monegasque spun in the final seconds of qualifying. The seven-time world champion, was handed a reprimand by the stewards.

The lap time deleted for the double-yellow-flag infringement wasn’t the British driver’s quickest, meaning he still holds his 11th-place starting spot for Saturday's Sprint race.

Red Bull Racing advisor Helmut Marko offered a downcast outlook on Max Verstappen’s outing ahead of the Sprint.

The 82-year-old, who was quizzed about the struggles of the four-time world champion during qualifying for the Sao Paulo GP, highlighted the lack of grip in the Red Bull car.

The Austrian, however, detailed that the team would aim to resolve its issues ahead of the main race on Sunday.

Verstappen himself was far from pleased with his outing, describing it as 'quite poor' in his assessment on Friday.
