Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri are set to be investigated by the stewards after the conclusion of FP3 at the Suzuka Circuit.
The Dutchman and the Australian driver failed to follow race director's instructions after the lights turned green once again in the session.
Both driver overtook others who were in the fast lane in the working lane, and essentially cut the queue as they lined up to complete practice starts.
Similar incidents happened yesterday, involving Lewis Hamilton and Lance Stroll. Both drivers and their teams received a warning after FP2.
