Ricciardo hit with Miami F1 grid penalty for safety car infringement
The RB driver has been penalized for overtaking Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg under safety car conditions at the Shanghai International Circuit on lap 28. Ricciardo received a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points for the offense, but was unable to serve it as he had to retire due to damage caused by Lance Stroll. Despite believing he could retake his position under the safety car deployment, the stewards’ report stated he was not permitted to do so. As a result, Ricciardo was given a 3-grid place penalty for the next race. Additionally, Alpine was fined €10,000 for an unsafe pitstop involving Pierre Gasly, where a mechanic was knocked over when a rear-right wheel was not properly attached.
