FIA took care of incidents involving Leclerc, Bottas and Zhou

During qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix, three drivers were 'under investigation' during the session. Charles Leclerc, Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou allegedly exceeded the maximum lap time at Suzuka. The FIA took care of the issue, and made a decision.

To ensure Formula 1 drivers do not drive unnecessarily slowly during the out- or in-laps in qualifying, they must have completed a lap of the 5.8-kilometre circuit within 1:54.0. The FIA assessed the drivers' situation and decided that "no further actions" needed to be taken.
