Albon drops to P19 for Miami Sprint due to track limits violation

Albon got into SQ2 on 16^th place and left Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson behind. He noticeably stayed in his car until the start of SQ2 before it was confirmed after Sprint Qualifying that Albon had exceeded track limits.

The stewards’ document says: “During SQ1, Car 23 clearly exceeded track limits in Turn 6. However, this was not reported to the Stewards until SQ2 had commenced. Car 23’s time recorded on the lap that track limits were exceeded was sufficient to place it in SQ2. Hence at the time the Stewards were informed that Car 23 had left the track and that its lap should have been potentially deleted, it was already on track in SQ2.”

So as Albon should not have gotten into SQ2 all his lap times in this part were deleted.
