Carlos Sainz has learned the outcome of the stewards investigation into his alleged unsafe release during qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix.

The Spaniard ultimately qualified in seventh place but was subject to a summons after the session.

The F1 stewards took issue with how the driver was released into the path of Lewis Hamilton in the pit lane.

However, no grid penalty has befallen the Ferrari driver, with the team instead handed a €5,000 fine.

Ferrari enter Sunday race looking to make gains on McLaren in the constructors' championship.

The Woking-based squad endured the better day of the two in qualifying, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri classifying in third and fourth respectively.
