Stroll appeared to shove his trainer Henry Howe after throwing his steering wheel out of his cockpit following his elimination from GP qualifying at last weekend’s event.
The governing body had announced on Tuesday that its compliance officer was holding discussions with Stroll in relation to several incidents that may have contravened the FIA’s rules, policies and procedures.
While these were not specifically outlined by the FIA, they are understood to have been focused to Stroll’s actions caught on camera at the Losail track last Friday and centred on the catch-all ‘disrepute’ clause in the FIA’s International Sporting Code.
An FIA spokesperson then issued an update on Friday afternoon that effectively ended the matter, with Stroll handed a warning regarding his actions in Qatar and future behaviour.
“We can confirm that the FIA Compliance Officer has received an apology from Lance Stroll regarding his actions during the 2023 FIA Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix,” read the FIA statement.
“The Compliance Officer has noted this apology and issued a written warning, reminding Lance of his responsibilities as a competitor bound by the FIA Code of Ethics and other FIA ethical and conduct guidelines set forth by the sporting regulations.
“The FIA maintains a zero-tolerance stance against misconduct and condemns any actions that may lead to physical harassment.”
