Antonelli too! World Championship leader penalized in Hungary after Quali
Qualifying already didn't go as planned for the Mercedes youngster. Now he also receives a grid penalty.
A bitter penalty for Kimi Antonelli!
The World Championship leader loses three places after an infringement under yellow flags following qualifying in Hungary, dropping him to seventh on the grid.
After the Hamilton penalty, another top driver receives a penalty and will have to stage a small comeback on tomorrow's race Sunday.
Antonelli too fast under yellows after Verstappen spin
A spin by Max Verstappen (Red Bull) proves to be the young Italian's undoing. Antonelli did not abandon his final lap in Q3 despite the waved yellow flag and even improved his lap time.
One circumstance is particularly bitter. During qualifying in Spielberg, Antonelli abandoned his lap after a yellow flag, also triggered by a Verstappen spin. Russell benefited from this, ultimately securing not only pole but also the race victory.
This time, he did not abandon his lap and was consequently penalized for it.
