Oscar Piastri, Charles Leclerc and Daniel Ricciardo have all been summoned by Italian Grand Prix stewards over a final practice incident. 

During the final 60 minutes of practice, Piastri had already bailed on a lap after feeling Leclerc had impeded him on the exit of Turn 2, with the duo then making their way slowly around the Monza circuit. 

As they got to Turn 7, the exit of the second Lesmo, Piastri veered sharply to the right, in a bid to get out of the way for the fast-approaching Ricciardo, but nearly hit Leclerc who was alongside. 

All three drivers were able to complete the session, topped by Lewis Hamilton, without further incident, with Leclerc third fastest, Piastri fourth and Ricciardo in 12th. 

Qualifying begins at 1600 local time, 1500 UK, with the trio set to appear before the stewards at 14:15 local.

In a further summons, both Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez were also ordered to attend the stewards for an alleged failure to follow the race director's instructions when navigating the escape road at Turn 4 - the second chicane. 

Stroll must attend the stewards at 1445 local time, with Perez 10 minutes later.

Williams rookie Franco Colapinto was also summoned for a practice start infringement and must report at 1505.

The Piastri, Leclerc, Ricciardo verdict is available to read here, whilst Perez and Colapinto was delayed until after qualifying.
