Kimi Antonelli has lost fourth place and will start the 2026 Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix from seventh after receiving a three-place grid penalty for a yellow-flag infringement in qualifying.
The Mercedes driver passed through a yellow-flag zone at the final corner, where Max Verstappen was stationary in the run-off area following a spin on the final Q3 attempts.
Antonelli still improved his final-sector time to secure fourth place. However, the stewards ruled that his reduction in speed was not significant enough to comply with the local yellow-flag requirements.
The decision was based on Antonelli lifting by only a minimal amount and still carrying more speed through the corner than on his previous push lap.
The three-place penalty drops the championship leader to seventh on the grid. It removes the second-row starting position he had secured after Mercedes was beaten by McLaren and Ferrari in the battle for pole.
Lewis Hamilton was also handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Oscar Piastri at Turn 1. The changes promote Piastri to third, with Verstappen joining him on the second row.
The revised grid leaves Antonelli facing a recovery drive from seventh in the 2026 Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix after Mercedes had already struggled for grip during qualifying.
