Isack Hadjar has been given a three-place grid penalty for impeding Carlos Sainz during qualifying for the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix due to a miscommunication with his Racing Bulls team. As a result, Hadjar will now start the race in 12th place despite originally qualifying in 9th. Hadjar stated his innocence initially, claiming he was misinformed by his team about Sainz’s situation on track. The penalty was imposed after a thorough investigation by the stewards involving input from both drivers, team representatives, and video evidence. Carlos Sainz was also affected by grid penalties, moving up to 16th due to Yuki Tsunoda’s 10-place penalty for a red flag infringement in FP3.
