FIA announce penalty review almost TWO WEEKS after F1 star hit with controversial punishment
The FIA have scheduled a right of review hearing following an appeal by an F1 driver against a penalty from the Dutch Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton’s first-ever DNF at Max Verstappen’s home race resulted in a safety car situation and subsequent incident involving Liam Lawson and Carlos Sainz. Despite Sainz receiving a 10-second penalty and two penalty points, Williams is protesting the decision and a review hearing is set for September 12. The hearing will determine if new evidence exists to impact the initial penalty decision, with hopes for a positive outcome from Williams. The virtual hearing will assess the validity of the review and may lead to a second hearing to evaluate the incident in detail. The process involves submissions from the petitioner, potential input from concerned parties, and a final decision from the stewards involved.
