Carlos Sainz was demoted to fifth place in the Miami Grand Prix for causing a collision with Oscar Piastri during a robust fight for position. The stewards found Sainz predominantly to blame for the incident, highlighting his late braking, missed apex, and loss of control leading to the collision. Despite giving sufficient room, Sainz’s actions warranted a 5-second time penalty and one penalty point. As a result, Sainz dropped behind Sergio Perez in the final standings, with Lewis Hamilton following closely in sixth place. The decision emphasized fair competition and the consequences of on-track incidents in high-stakes racing events.
