A total of six drivers, including, Max Verstappen have been placed under investigation following the sprint shootout in Miami. Verstappen, George Russell, Liam Lawson, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon and Gabriel Bortoleto are all under investigation for exceeding the maximum delta time. The Red Bull driver exceeded the maximum delta time in the second part of the sprint shootout ahead of the Miami sprint race, whilst the other five all fell foul in the opening part. Ahead of each qualifying session in any format, the race director sets a maximum delta time, meaning the six drivers failed to follow the race directors instructions.
