Carlos Sainz is at risk of picking up a five-place grid penalty for the Mexican Grand Prix
Carlos Sainz could receive a five-place grid penalty for the Mexican Grand Prix due to his incident with Kimi Antonelli’s Mercedes at the US GP in Austin. Despite a strong start moving up from ninth to eighth, Sainz’s clash with Antonelli at Turn 15 led to his retirement from the race. Sainz claimed Antonelli turned in on him, but the stewards will review the incident, likely resulting in a penalty since Sainz did not have his front axle alongside Antonelli’s mirror. As Sainz would be unable to serve the penalty due to retiring, it would be converted into a grid drop for the next race. This incident may also add to the penalty points Sainz has accumulated earlier in the season. The stewards will conduct a post-race investigation into the collision.
