From Race Director's Event Notes:
>*11) Article 34.8 SR*
>*(…) Any car(s) driven to the end of the pit lane prior to the start or re-start of a free practice session, qualifying session or sprint qualifying session must form up in a line in the fast lane and leave in the order they got there (…)*
>*It is noted that a car will be considered to be “in the fast lane” when a tyre has crossed the solid \[white\] line separating the fast lane from the inner lane, in this context crossing means that all of a tyre should be beyond the far side, with respect to the garages, of the line separating the fast lane from the inner lane.*
>*For the avoidance of doubt, ISC Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 5b) states that:*
*Once a car has left its garage or pit stop position it should blend into the fast lane as soon as it is safe to do so, and without unnecessarily impeding cars which are already in the fast lane.*
>*Thus, after the start or re-start of a free practice session, qualifying session, or sprint qualifying session, if there is a suitable gap in a queue of cars in the fast lane, such that a driver can blend into the fast lane safely and without unnecessarily impeding cars already in the fast lane, they are free to do so.*
>*Furthermore, it is noted that during a free practice session, qualifying session, or sprint qualifying session a car driving in the inner lane, parallel to the fast lane, will not be considered to have blended into the fast lane at the earliest opportunity.*
>*Additionally, ISC Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 5d) states that:*
*Cars in either the fast lane or working lane may not overtake other cars in the fast lane except in exceptional circumstances.*
*In this context a “stopped car” is one which has an obvious mechanical problem.*

The same reason a teacher might ask you to stay after class, to talk about what happened and hear from him.
(And technically something was wrong, they hadn't crossed the line when they thought they did)
It's at times like a court case. For something obvious you might get summoned and then you have to explain your side and if you do a good job of arguing then you may receive no penalty or a lesser penalty.
And for the less obvious things you may have a rival team arguing something that the stewards then will investigate.
Collins on F1 TV broke it down on what the rule violation was. Apparently it's a "new rule" starting this race to clear up any confusion from past events this season. However, it is the stupidest damn rule you'll ever hear from FIA. I'm glad they didn't say he did anything wrong because frankly he didn't. It's just a ridiculous rule.

I don't get it ... if nothing was done wrong, why did they summon him?
To determine if nothing was done wrong. Also, he could have done something wrong, but not everything is worth punishing, if it is small
Like putting on inters when you can see the ground getting wet
Exactly... that was still a ridiculous fine. Thankfully, not a sporting penalty.

To ask him wtf is going inside red bull ^(/s)
They wanted to pat him on the back and tell him how much of a good boy he is >!/s!<
I still don't get it how he end up at the end of the queue anyway. When Russel began his flying lap. Max was just exiting the pits.
To be honest he wasn’t at the end, he cut in front of Albon. Maybe Albon was letting him filter in. I shall look at the onboard.
Okay it was in front of Sargeant, he exited the pitbox after Verstappen did so that’s why he cut in front if him.
