FIA confirms George Russell punishment after Spanish Grand Prix investigation

The FIA has confirmed that George Russell received a warning following an investigation into his actions during the Spanish Grand Prix qualifying. The stewards found that Russell had left the track to avoid an incoming car but rejoined in a manner that contradicted the race director's instructions, leading to the warning despite acknowledging his good intentions.

Additionally, both Russell and teammate Kimi Antonelli were investigated for their conduct during the qualifying session. Antonelli was also warned for allegedly driving unnecessarily slowly, while Russell's warning stemmed from his rejoining the track improperly. The outcomes of these investigations have implications for their starting positions in the upcoming race.
