Alex Albon and Luke Browning have both been summoned to the stewards at the Bahrain Grand Prix after the pair almost crashed into each other during FP1.

The latter was standing in for Carlos Sainz during the weekend-opening session at the Bahrain International Circuit and was on a push lap when Albon drifted across to the racing line heading into Turn 13.

Both will appear before officials at 16:30 local time, with Albon at risk of being reprimanded for the near miss.

The official FIA document explains an "alleged breach of Article 37.5 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations - Car 23 allegedly unnecessarily impeding Car 46..."

Yuki Tsunoda has also been called to the stewards for allegedly overtaking Albon in the pit lane during practice.
