Andrea Kimi Antonelli crossed the line in P3, achieving his first ever podium, but the Italian now stares dead in the face at a potential penalty.
Lando Norris' crash into teammate Oscar Piastri brought out a safety car which saw several incidents take place. Max Verstappen and George Russell, for instance, complained about each other's driving, the first accusing the latter of erratic driving, whilst the Briton complained that Verstappen had overtaken him under safety car conditions.

Stewards investigate multiple F1 drivers

However, that was not the only incident that was reported, as race control has issued a message stating that several drivers are currently noted for potential safety car infringements.
"INCIDENT INVOLVING CARS 12 (ANT), 81 (PIA), 31 (OCO), 16 (LEC), 55 (SAI), 10 (GAS) AND 18 (STR) NOTED - SAFETY CAR INFRINGEMENT," the statement read.
So Antonelli, Oscar Piastri, Esteban Ocon, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, Pierre Gasly and Lance Stroll have all been called to the stewards. Should this result in a penalty for Piastri, then Verstappen could make even more headway in the championship standings.

Red Bull Racing files protest against Russell

Red Bull Racing has lodged a protest against George Russell. Max Verstappen and George Russell have been summoned to the stewards at 17:50 local time. If Russell receives a penalty, Verstappen could still be awarded the Grand Prix victory.
