Carlos Sainz has had his Dutch Grand Prix penalty points rescinded after the stewards revisited his collision with Liam Lawson and found it to be a racing incident
The Williams Formula 1 team successfully requested a review with the FIA regarding Carlos Sainz’s penalty at the Dutch Grand Prix, resulting in the removal of the two licence points he received for the incident with Liam Lawson. The FIA stewards, after a hearing to reassess the Zandvoort clash, admitted that Sainz’s penalty should not have been given. Williams and Sainz contended that the stewards made an error in issuing a 10-second penalty for the collision, as they failed to consider Lawson’s oversteer that contributed to the accident. Providing new and significant evidence, including footage from both cars and testimony from Sainz, Williams successfully convinced the stewards to grant a review. Ultimately, the stewards agreed with Williams that the collision was a racing incident with neither driver predominantly to blame, resulting in the removal of the 2 penalty points imposed on Sainz.
