Carlos Sainz fury puts stewards’ “randomness” under intense glare
Carlos Sainz has been supported for his strong reaction to receiving a penalty at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix, where he was given a 10-second time penalty for a collision with Liam Lawson. Despite finishing in 13th place, Sainz expressed his frustration over the decision, calling it a “complete joke” and questioning the stewards’ competence for F1. Sky Sports’ Naomi Schiff echoed Sainz’s sentiments, describing the penalty as harsh and understanding his anger. Former F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve labeled the incident as a racing incident with both drivers playing a part, criticizing the inconsistency in penalty decisions from the marshals. Liam Lawson, on the other hand, was critical of Sainz’s public blame game and expressed his disappointment over the collision affecting his race. Lawson advised Sainz to handle any issues privately rather than airing them out in media interviews.
