The FIA have announced a late penalty verdict for an F1 star, with confirmed points deduction at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Williams driver Carlos Sainz originally received a 10-second penalty and 2 points for contact with Liam Lawson, but the FIA overturned the decision, deeming it a racing incident.
The stewards concluded that Lawson’s loss of control caused the collision, no driver predominantly at fault.
Sainz’s points were rescinded, reducing his total from 4 to 2, but his P13 finish remains unchanged.
Williams appreciated the review, focusing on improving stewarding processes for the future, following Sainz’s emotional team radio reaction during the race.
