   Norris and Russell got fined for starting another lap instead of parking   
   up at the aborted start.   
      
   Mercedes got fined for the tyre pressure changes.   
      
   Sainz got a reprimand because he removed the steering wheel and the   
   marshals started preparing the car for removal. Sainz then reattached   
   the steering wheel in preparation for driving off but the marshals were   
   still sorting the car for removal.   
      
   No one got penalties that change the results.   
      
   Cheers
