FIA to strike before Qatar GP even began? Hamilton and Piastri to stewards

Oscar Piastri has to report to the stewards after the Qatar Grand Prix. Remarkably, not for something that took place during the Formula 1 race itself, but something that happened before.

Piastri and McLaren will have to go to the stewards after the end of the race for a possible case of 'irresponsible driving'. In doing so, Piastri allegedly hindered Lewis Hamilton in the pit lane, as he crossed the white line.

Hamilton immediately complained about Piastri's action. "Piastri just overtook in the pit lane entry, attacking the white line," reported the Mercedes driver, who was driving right behind him.
