US EditionDutch GP Stewards Cancel Penalty Points Handed to Sainz
The FIA reversed the penalty points on Carlos Sainz's racing license after Williams provided new camera evidence showing the collision was a racing incident, though the time penalty remains.
- Dutch Grand Prix stewards rescinded a penalty issued on August 31 to Carlos Sainz for a collision with Liam Lawson at Zandvoort.
- Williams pursued a review after the team submitted new, significant camera footage unavailable at the time of the race, leading to the stewards' re-evaluation.
- The stewards concluded that the collision resulted from a brief loss of vehicle control by Lawson and determined that neither driver was primarily responsible for the incident.
- Sainz served a 10-second penalty during the race and called the original penalty "a complete joke," while the stewards confirmed the race classification cannot be changed.
- The removal of two penalty points from Sainz's license brings relief to Williams, which has committed to collaborating positively with the FIA to enhance stewarding procedures.
