“Obviously now in a much, cool-headed state but I still firmly believe what happened and the penalty was not acceptable and I made it very clear.”
Williams is pushing for F1’s stewards to review the outcome of an incident involving Carlos Sainz at the Dutch Grand Prix where he was handed a 10-second time penalty and two penalties for a clash with Liam Lawson. Sainz, although appeared blameless, received the penalty. After the race, he criticized the decision and questioned the level of stewarding in F1. Although the penalty cannot be removed as it has been served, Williams can seek to have Sainz’s penalty points rescinded. Sainz mentioned that he spoke to the stewards after the race, where they acknowledged a possible mistake in handing him the penalty. Despite the chaotic race with multiple penalties issued, Sainz believes strongly that the penalty he received was unjust and is hoping for a reconsideration by the stewards. Lawson, on the other hand, does not sympathize with Sainz’s complaints and believes the stewards applied the racing rules correctly, expressing confusion about Sainz’s strong reaction to the incident.
