Carlos Sainz learns Baku promotion fate after stewards reverse FIA penalty
Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku this weekend, FIA confirmed the overturning of F1 star Carlos Sainz’s previous penalty. Two race weekends ago in Zandvoort, Sainz was penalized for a collision with Liam Lawson on a safety car restart, but the decision was reviewed. The stewards found that the collision was a racing incident caused by Lawson’s loss of control, leading to the reversal of Sainz’s penalty and removal of two penalty points. Despite this, Sainz will not be promoted in the upcoming race, as the gap between him and Lawson in the final classification cannot be adjusted. Williams welcomed the decision and expressed gratitude for the stewards’ review process, emphasizing the importance of working with the FIA to enhance racing regulations.
