The penalty comes for "unnecessary impediment" against Lando Norris

F1 | Three places penalty for Nikita Mazepin

The investigation into the incident between Nikita Mazepin and Lando Norris ends with a penalty for the Russian driver: three positions on the grid for him, who still remains in twentieth position.

The Haas driver broke article 31.5, creating an impediment against Lando Norris's McLaren in Q1. The British driver was making his first attempt at qualifying, but traffic in the final sector damaged his fast lap; in particular, Nikita Mazepin was in the wake of his teammate, ready to launch for the fastest lap, in turns 13 and 14, but Yuki Tsunoda, who was returning to the pits, overtook the Russian, creating confusion on the track. Mazpein, despite having been informed on the radio, was unable to leave room for Norris, and was therefore penalized for "unnecessary impediment".
