BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Nico Rosberg has escaped punishment for an alleged breach of yellow flag regulations during his pole position lap at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Rosberg took pole while double-waved yellow flags were being flown at sector two to allow Fernando Alonso to recover from a spin. Nearly four hours after the end of the session, Rosberg was called to the stewards to explain his side of the alleged breach after he set the fastest middle sector of all on his lap.
In the decision the stewards said "the telemetry demonstrated that the driver reduced speed significantly into Turn 8".
As a result, Rosberg's fourth pole position of the season will stand.
