After the qualifying session in Canada, three drivers may report to the stewards. Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc and Alexander Albon all drove too slowly during the first part of the session.

Three men heading for the stewards

The qualifying session is over, but that doesn't mean there are no more shifts on the grid. Three drivers are being called to the mat, having driven too slowly during Q1.

Sainz, Leclerc and Albon are expected at 18:30 local time at the stewards' office, where they will hear if there is still a penalty to come. For Leclerc, it will matter the least, as the Monegasque is already starting from the back. Albon had his best qualifying performance in his Williams career with a P12, whilst Sainz qualified on P3 behind Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso.
