Lewis Hamilton has been summoned to the stewards following qualifying in Canada after allegedly impeding Pierre Gasly during the session.

The incident occurred in the opening segment of qualifying, although both drivers successfully progressed to the next stage.

Despite neither driver being eliminated, the stewards have requested Hamilton’s presence to hear his account of the incident and assess whether any action is warranted.

It marks the second time Hamilton has been called to the stewards on Saturday in Montreal.

The seven-time world champion was also investigated for allegedly leaving the track and gaining an advantage during the sprint race.

However, Hamilton escaped punishment on that occasion.
