George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli have both been summoned by the Bahrain Grand Prix stewards for entering the fast lane of the pitlane before a Q2 restart time was officially declared in Formula 1 qualifying.

The intermediate stage of qualifying was interrupted by Esteban Ocon 's crash at Turn 3, which enforced a short hiatus in running to extricate his Haas from the gravel and check the wall for damage.

The FIA then sent out a message on its race control bulletin stating an estimated restart time - although this was not marked as an official time. Mercedes elected to send both drivers out regardless to the end of the pitlane; Nico Hulkenberg was heard to remark that he thought it was "dodgy", as his race engineer Steven Petrik told him to remain in the garage.
