Stroll keeps pole, but Norris gets five-second penalty

Lance Stroll has retained his maiden pole position for tomorrow’s Turkish Grand Prix following an investigation by race stewards.

Stroll was among a number of drivers alleged to have not obeyed the rules for yellow flags during Saturday’s qualifying session, which require drivers to be able to show that they have reduced their speed sufficiently for the incident.

McLaren’s Lando Norris was also under investigation for an earlier breach and has received a five place grid drop from the stewards.

In the case of Stroll, the allegation centred on an incident in Q3 when drivers appeared not to slow sufficiently when a single-waved yellow flag was shown at turn 7 after Stroll’s Racing Point team mate Sergio Perez spun off.
