Charles Leclerc learns stewards' verdict after Barcelona investigation

Charles Leclerc has learned his fate from the F1 stewards after being summoned after FP3 in Barcelona.

The Monegasque driver was alleged to have impeded Audi's Nico Hulkenberg during the session as the drivers prepared for qualifying.

Prior to the grid-setting session, Leclerc visited the stewards to provide his version of the events.

After deliberating the matter, the stewards decided to only award Leclerc a warning, with Ferrari also receiving a warning, after the stewards found he was not told by the pit-wall of Hulkenberg's approach.

"Car 27 was closing in on Car 16 while being on an in lap," began the verdict.

"Car 16 was passing Car 44 at a slow speed when Car 27 was approaching and thereby slightly impeded Car 27.

"There was no warning to the driver from the team. The team representative explained during the hearing, that such a warning will just be given to the driver when a car on a push lap is approaching."
