Logan Sargeant and Williams have been penalised for incidents during qualifying for Formula 1’s Mexico City Grand Prix, with all
In qualifying for the Formula 1 Russian Grand Prix, Sargeant was given a grid penalty of 10 places for overtaking during a yellow flag period caused by Fernando Alonso’s spin. However, this penalty did not affect his starting position as he did not set a lap time and was already set to start from last place. Despite this, Sargeant received two penalty points, bringing his total up to six within a 12-month period, halfway to a race suspension. Williams was fined €20,000, with half of it being suspended, after leaving their jack unattended in the pit box, resulting in it being struck by Tsunoda. Max Verstappen, George Russell, and Fernando Alonso were investigated for impeding at the pit exit but were cleared of any wrongdoing. The incidents were seen as a result of conflicting requirements on drivers, and a better long-term solution was suggested. Finally, Lewis Hamilton was also cleared of allegations of failing to slow for yellow flags during Q1.
