After today's sprint qualifying, Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto will have to report to the stewards at the Circuit of the Americas. The Williams drivers committed an off-track violation in between today's two sessions.

After the one and only free practice session, where Alex Albon finished 14th and Franco Colapinto finished in P19, the two Williams drivers will have to go to the stewards at 18:00 local time (00:00 GMT / 01:00 CET). Although Colapinto was involved in an impeding incident during the practice session, the pair will have to report because they 'failed to attend the driver meeting at the scheduled time'.
