Carlos Sainz’s Dutch GP penalty rescinded after Williams succeed with Right of Review.
Williams has successfully won their Right of Review case regarding the penalty imposed on Carlos Sainz at the Dutch Grand Prix, with the team challenging the decision in a virtual hearing ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.
Despite the time penalty being served during the race, the FIA rescinded the penalty points given to Sainz after reviewing the incident and determining that no driver was predominantly at fault for the collision.
In a statement, Williams expressed gratitude to the stewards for overturning the penalty, emphasizing the need for constructive collaboration with the FIA to enhance stewarding processes and review racing rules for the future.
The FIA report characterized the collision between Sainz and Liam Lawson as a racing incident, attributing it to a momentary loss of control by Lawson, while acknowledging Sainz’s contribution to the incident by taking a risky line.
With the penalty points removed and a new perspective on the incident provided by the FIA report, Williams and Sainz can now focus on moving forward and continue their competitive performance in future races.
