The Williams Formula 1 team’s case for challenging Carlos Sainz’s Dutch Grand Prix penalty will be assessed by the FIA
The Williams Formula 1 team’s case for challenging Carlos Sainz’s Dutch Grand Prix penalty will be evaluated by the FIA this Friday.
Sainz received a 10-second penalty for contact with Liam Lawson’s Racing Bulls at Zandvoort, resulting in Lawson getting a puncture and Sainz sustaining front wing damage.
The penalty can’t be revoked because it was served in a pitstop rather than added to Sainz’s race time, so it won’t impact his 13th place finish.
Sainz expressed his disagreement with the penalty and is working to present new evidence to possibly change the outcome.
The FIA stewards will review the case based on the new evidence provided by Williams and Racing Bulls, as well as other concerned parties involved.
The meeting between the teams and the FIA will determine if there’s sufficient evidence to proceed with a review, with the possibility of overturning the penalty points given to Sainz for the incident.
