Max Verstappen Cleared in Yellow-Flag Investigation at Singapore Grand Prix

Max Verstappen has been exonerated by FIA stewards regarding a potential violation of yellow-flag rules during the sprint qualifying session at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The investigation focused on an incident where Verstappen overtook Lewis Hamilton in a yellow-flag zone following a crash by Sergio Perez. The stewards concluded that Verstappen had sufficiently slowed down by lifting off the throttle, and the significant speed difference between the two drivers made it unsafe for him to brake further.

As a result of this decision, Verstappen retains his pole position for the sprint race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit without facing any penalties.
