George Russell gets five place grid penalty, other drivers are acquitted
The stewards were busy during and after qualification, with several incidents that needed to be investigated. In the end only George Russell was punished. During qualifying, Lewis Hamilton ended up in the gravel pit, after which he swung back onto the track and took quite a few stones with him.
