P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Logan Sargeant has been hit with a 10-place grid drop for overtaking Yuki Tsunoda under yellow flags during F1 Mexico City Grand Prix qualifying.
In the recent qualifying session, the Williams driver faced multiple issues, resulting in a last-place start on the grid. Both of his lap times were deleted due to track limit violations, leading to his 20th place qualification. Furthermore, he received two penalty points on his license, bringing his total to six points in the past 12 months, leaving him just six points away from a potential one-race ban. This penalty adds to the disappointment of his qualifying performance, where he ended up being the slowest for the seventh time this season. The driver overtook another car in a yellow flag zone, explaining that he saw a green panel ahead, but the stewards deemed it a breach of regulations, emphasizing that overtaking is only allowed after passing the green panel or flag and with a sufficient reduction in speed. Additionally, the Williams team was fined €20,000, with €10,000 suspended for a year, for leaving an unattended jack in the pit lane, which was subsequently struck by Tsunoda.
