Lewis Hamilton has been cleared by FIA stewards of impeding Pierre Gasly during qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix, allowing the Ferrari driver to keep his fifth-place grid position.
Hamilton visited the stewards one hour after qualifying at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The incident occurred in Q1 when Gasly, on a flying lap, encountered Hamilton on an outlap near Turn 8. Hamilton said neither he nor his team believed Gasly was on a push lap, and the stewards accepted that the moment did not affect Gasly's result as the Alpine driver advanced to Q2.
