Norris was on target to advance to Q2 when he had to abort his lap due to a yellow flag being displayed for Esteban Ocon's slow-moving Alpine in the high-speed Turns 18 and 19. McLaren questioned the necessity of the yellow flag since it could hamper title hopes.
Stella stated, "The team didn’t say it because it was displayed last minute and we checked right now in our tools and it is actually displayed as a yellow, so we were in conversations with the FIA as to why that happened because the yellow flag isn't necessary when there's a car is just a slow car, it is not on a flying lap."
