Kvyat hit with reprimand after FP1

Daniil Kvyat has received his first reprimand of the season following FP1 for the Austrian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver was guilty of crossing the while line at the pit entry in the opening half hour of the session, which caught the eye of the stewards and resulted in Kvyat being reprimanded.

Each driver can receive two reprimands in a season without penalty, while the third results in a 10-place grid penalty.

Both Red Bull drivers are expected to receive grid penalties in Austria this weekend, with Daniel Ricciardo having taken a fifth internal combustion engine (ICE) of the season which will result in a 10-place penalty. Kvyat is expected to follow suit, but his engine change has yet to be confirmed by the team or the FIA.
