Turmoil in Miami: Ricciardo's Grid Penalty Shakes Up Grand Prix

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Daniel Ricciardo was summoned to see the stewards after the Chinese Grand Prix after allegedly overtaking under safety car conditions.

Daniel Ricciardo will receive a three-place grid penalty at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix due to a safety car infringement during the Chinese Grand Prix. This penalty was issued after Ricciardo was found guilty of overtaking Nico Hulkenberg under safety car conditions in Shanghai. Ricciardo’s race ended prematurely when he was involved in a collision with Lance Stroll at Turn 14, resulting in damage to his car. Despite Ricciardo’s explanation that he felt entitled to overtake Hulkenberg because of a previous incident, the stewards deemed his actions unjustified and imposed a 10-second time penalty, which Ricciardo was unable to serve due to retirement. Consequently, Ricciardo will start three places lower on the grid in Miami as a result of the penalty, in accordance with the sporting regulations set forth by Article 55.8.
