What happened
At the beginning of Q3 Andrea Kimi Antonelli he hit the track with both blowers/fans still attached to the side inlets.
The Mercedes driver lost one immediately in Turn-1 and the other instead remained on the trajectory after Turn-2, coming demolished by Lando Norris.
Antonelli and Mercedes were convened by the Commissioners at 08:00 Italian time (18:00 local time) for having left the pits with the car in an unsafe condition.
We will see what the Stewards’ decision will be and whether they will be there consequences on Antonelli’s positioning on the starting grid.
After the accident in FP3, the Italian driver was put in a position to participate in Qualifying also thanks to the red flag forced by knockout by Max Verstappen and brought his W17 to the front row alongside its twin driven by George Russell.
