Multiple F1 drivers have both been placed under investigation during qualifying at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri, Lance Stroll, Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar have been placed under investigation for exceeding the maximum delta time in the first stage of qualifying, whilst the Mercedes duo are also under investigation.

Esteban Ocon crashed in the opening minutes of Q2, resulting in an immediate red flag due to the accident at Turn 3.
