Nico Hulkenberg and Lance Stroll are set to report to the FIA stewards' after today's qualifying session. The two were involved in an incident in Q1.
As the lights turned green in Q1, there was the usual traffic jam in the pit lane. Nico Hulkenberg tried to enter the queue, and put his front left tyre beyond the white line.
However, Lance Stroll did not care about that too much, and continued to move forward. As a result, he also went over the Sauber car's front wing.
Immediately after, Hulkenberg's front wing was switched by the Sauber crew. During the session, it was also announced that the stewards will investigate the incident after the session.
Now, both drivers are required to report to the stewards to provide an explanation of what exactly happened in the first minute of qualifying. They have to be present at 17:30 local time (16:30 BST).
