F1 rookie handed bizarre penalty after Mexico incident

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Robert Shwartzman was one of three drivers summoned by F1 stewards in Mexico.

Stake rookie driver Robert Shwartzman received a five-place grid penalty for overtaking under yellow flags during the Mexican Grand Prix FP1 session. Despite not being a full-time F1 driver, Shwartzman was filling in for Zhou Guanyu at Sauber. The penalty was imposed because he passed Yuki Tsunoda under double-waved yellow flags, a violation of safety rules mandating slowing down and being prepared to stop. Although Shwartzman never debuted in a grand prix, he could potentially be called upon if needed later in the season. The stewards, while acknowledging the unusual circumstances, applied the penalty to stay consistent with regulations. Additionally, no further action was taken against Ollie Bearman or Alex Albon for their incident, as both drivers agreed it was a racing incident involving a cool down lap, unfortunate timing, and no unreasonable positioning.
