No penalty for Hülkenberg as Austin stewards warn Hadjar and Bortoleto

Third practice in Austin passed without any major incidents, but the stewards reviewed several matters afterwards. They warned Isack Hadjar and Gabriel Bortoleto, while Nico Hülkenberg was not penalised.

Hadjar had been summoned over dangerous driving and received a formal warning. The stewards said he would have faced a heavier penalty if there had been contact with Alex Albon.

Bortoleto had been summoned over an incident in which he was alleged to have impeded Lewis Hamilton; he too received a warning. Hülkenberg’s incident involved a practice start for which Lance Stroll had to brake.
