Robert Shwartzman has been handed a five place grid penalty that he’s highly likely never to serve
Robert Shwartzman has received a five-place grid penalty in Formula 1, which he is unlikely to serve, following his appearance in the 2024 Mexican Grand Prix. Despite being highly regarded by Sauber’s F1 CEO Mattia Binotto, Shwartzman is not in contention for a 2025 F1 seat after graduating from the junior ladder in 2021. A move to IndyCar seems more probable for him. Shwartzman was penalized for overtaking under yellow flags during practice, although he is not scheduled to start the race. He explained that the incident happened quickly and hopes for his 2025 program to be announced soon. Additionally, no further action was taken on Ollie Bearman and Alex Albon’s collision during the race.
