The results of the analysis found that all sampled oils from the cars inspected including Bearman, Verstappen and Norris were clear and in compliance with the regulations.

Furthermore all the car weights and items checked were found to be in compliance with the technical regulations.

Pierre Gasly, who finished the race on the podium in P3, was randomly selected for 'extensive physical inspections' but was also found to be in compliance.
