Gasly and Colapinto penalised post-race, Hirakawa scores on F1 debut at Mexico GP
Post-race penalties for Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto lifted Ryo Hirakawa into 10th and gave Haas a point on his Formula 1 debut.
- Haas debutant Ryo Hirakawa scored his first Formula 1 point at the Mexico Grand Prix on Saturday after post-race penalties reshuffled the final standings in his favor.
- Following Haas's decision to bench Esteban Ocon for unspecified reasons on Friday night, Hirakawa received a late call-up to make his unexpected F1 race debut at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
- Pierre Gasly received a 30-second penalty for failing to slow under double yellow flags, while Franco Colapinto incurred a 10-second penalty for the same infraction under single yellows during the Mexico City race.
- Penalties for Gasly, Colapinto, and Oscar Piastri dropped them from the points, promoting Hirakawa to 10th alongside Isack Hadjar, Liam Lawson, and Gabriel Bortoleto in the final classification.
- FIA stewards cleared the Argentinean driver of a double yellow sector breach, citing "there was sufficient doubt that the driver had sufficient warning" to comply with requirements according to their report.
