Lewis Hamilton has escaped a penalty after an unsafe release in the pits during the third practice session ahead of the German Grand Prix.
The championship leader was summoned to see stewards after pulling out in front of Romain Grosjean and faced a third reprimand of the season.
The punishment for a trio of reprimands is a 10-place grid penalty, but the stewards opted against penalising the defending champion.
Mercedes were handed a €10,000 (£8,450) fine for the incident, but there was no individual punishment for Hamilton ahead of Sunday's race.
Hamilton was, however, slower than Nico Rosberg once again during the third practice session, although he gained ground on his teammate and championship rival.
