Due to the red flag as a result of a crash of Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton ran out of time. His first fast lap was invalidated and he should have aborted his second lap. So he had to go out as fast as he could to set a time before the flag fell. However, despite that necessity, Lewis Hamilton was not waiting at the front of the queue for the traffic light at the end of the pit lane. In fact, he was waiting in the pit box for a long time. Due to the delay of the cars waiting at the traffic lights, Hamilton had only a few seconds left at the start of his lap.
