Sargeant baffled about not being told of illegal F1 safety car overtake
During the caution period to remove Valtteri Bottas’s stricken Sauber, Sargeant believed he had overtaken his Haas rival before the safety car line, but was later penalized for an illegal overtake. Sargeant mentioned the elevation and visibility challenges at Turn 1, leading to his misunderstanding of the situation. The lack of communication from his pit wall or the FIA regarding the penalty left him surprised at the end of the race. The 10-second penalty dropped Sargeant to 17th place in the final classification, concluding a challenging weekend where he struggled with car performance and tire management. Despite some positive moments during the race, issues with tire strategy, setup changes, and tire warming affected his overall performance and left room for improvement in future races.
