During Lap 19 of the Sprint race at the Red Bull Ring, Hulkenberg and Alonso were battling for P14 when Hulkenberg attempted an overtake at Turn 3, but locked up, went wide, and blocked Alonso’s line, causing him to go off-track. Consequently, Alonso lost positions not only to Hulkenberg but also to Sargeant. After reviewing the video and in-car evidence, the Stewards gave Hulkenberg a 10-second time penalty and 2 penalty points for the incident. Despite Alonso hinting at possibly forcing a penalty due to being pushed off-track, he decided against escalating the situation. Hulkenberg will serve the penalty during the race in Austria on Sunday.
