Lewis Hamilton has avoided a grid penalty for Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix after a stewards' hearing over two incidents in the final stage of qualifying.
The stewards announced after meeting with Hamilton that there would be no further action taken over the yellow flag infringement after finding there had been a mix up with the marshal panel lights.
"The driver mentioned that he passed a green light panel in Turn 5," the stewards' report reads.
"The video footage confirmed that there have been yellow flags and green light panels at the same time and therefore conflicting signals were shown to the driver.
"Taking this into account, the Stewards decide to take no further action."
