Nico Rosberg will start the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole position afte⛎r stewards cleared him of wrongdoing over an alleged breach of the yellow flag ruling.

The Mercedes driver beat Lewis Ha♋milton to pole position in contentious circumstances after his fastest time was achieved despite wav꧂ed yellow flags being deployed at Turn 8 for the spun Fernando Alonso.

Though most drivers aborted their laps, Rosberg maintained his momentum in the run up to Turn 7 with yellow flags evident on television replays. The disput♔ed Turn 8 corner, however, was clear by the time Rosberg reached it with the track returning to green flag conditions as he appr🏅oached it.

With Rosberg going on to take pole position, though no investigation was launched in the dﷺirect aftermath of ꦺthe session - with Rosberg insisting he made a 'very, very big lift' to acknowledge the flags -, stewards belatedly put him under investigation three hours after qualifying finished.

However, stewa🔜rds have since decided to takeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ no further action against the championship contender, meaning he will indeed start the Hungaroring race from pole position.

"Telemetry demonstrated that the driver reduced speed significantl🦄y into Turn 8," read the FIA statement.

Rosberg had earlier insisted he did a 'very, very big l✅ift' when coming through the section, despite s🌼etting the fastest second sector time of qualifying.

"There were double waved yellows but I had a very, very big lift and I lost a lot of time as a result and I was also slower than on my previous lap in that yellow sector or segment so I a🍃m sure it will be OK."
