Leclerc and Stroll penalised for track limits in F1 Qatar sprint
During the Qatar F1 sprint race, the FIA announced on Saturday morning that track limits were reduced at Turn 12 and 13 due to issues identified by Pirelli. This was caused by drivers running over raised kerbs, leading to tears in the tyres. An additional practice session was added to help drivers adjust, but track limit breaches still occurred. As a result, Ferrari’s Leclerc and Aston Martin’s Stroll received five-second penalties for repeatedly going off-track without justification. Leclerc dropped from seventh to 13th, while Stroll dropped from 13th to 15th. The race also saw several retirements and a victory for Piastri.
