2020 Styrian Grand Prix grid :Penalties

Lando Norris: Three-place grid penalty for overtaking under yellow flags
Charles Leclerc: Three-place grid penalty for impeding Daniil Kvyat during qualifying

Kevin Magnussen was among those who praised F1 for letting the session continue. “I feel like we should be allowed to drive in these extreme conditions,” he said. “It’s not right that we have an extreme wet tyre and we never really get to use it.

“Today we got to use it because the conditions were for extreme wets. So that’s the good balance. It’s not it’s not great if you red-flag the session and then once it goes green, you go straight out on inter. Then you’ve red-flagged for too long.
