Kevin Magnussen has escaped punishment for exiting the pitlane whilst the red light was shown during qualifying in Monaco on Saturday, and will therefore start 16th.
The Renault driver crossed the pit exit line just moments after the light had turned red following Max Verstappen's crash during Q1. It was confirmed that the incident would be investigated after the session.
The stewards deemed that Magnussen didn't have enough time to react and stop when the light changed, therefore they chose to take no further action.
"Although the green light was extinguished and replace by the red light two seconds before the driver crossed the pit exit line, the team presented evidence that the dashboard light only turned to red 0.55 seconds prior to the car crossing the line," a statement from the stewards read.
"Further, the driver explained that he looked at the trackside light on approach, it was green, then he focussed on the track ahead because there is a turn from the pit exit.
"By the time his dashboard light came on it was too late to avoid crossing the line. The Team also radioed "red flag, red flag" but the car had passed the line."
