FIA confirm 70-PLACE grid penalty ruling at Canadian Grand Prix
The FIA announced that Pierre Gasly and Liam Lawson will be starting from the pit-lane at the Canadian Grand Prix due to penalties. Gasly had two power unit parts changed (energy store and control electronics), resulting in a 20-place grid penalty. Lawson, on the other hand, faced a 50-place penalty for multiple power unit alterations. As per the regulations, any driver with penalties exceeding 15 places starts from the pit-lane, leading to Gasly and Lawson’s placement. The FIA’s decision was based on breaches of Article 40.3 of the 2025 Formula One Sporting Regulations regarding unauthorized component changes. Consequently, both drivers have been sent to the pit lane for the race in Montreal.
