FIA announce DOUBLE punishment verdict for Williams star
The FIA have issued a double punishment for a Williams F1 driver following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Carlos Sainz secured Williams’ best-of-the-rest position in Baku by claiming a podium finish, while his teammate, Alex Albon, finished 13th without earning any additional points in the drivers’ standings. Albon received a 10-second time penalty during the race for a collision with Franco Colapinto, leading to the FIA confirming a second penalty for the incident. This additional penalty also resulted in Albon accumulating a total of four penalty points over the last year.
In the broader context of F1 penalty points for the 2025 season, various drivers from different teams have also accrued penalty points for different incidents throughout the year. Notable cases include Max Verstappen having nine penalty points, Yuki Tsunoda with four points, Lewis Hamilton with two points, Charles Leclerc with one point, and Kimi Antonelli with five points. These penalties are imposed for infractions such as causing collisions, erratic driving, and overtaking under dangerous conditions.
