US EditionExplained: Why Carlos Sainz Was Given a 5-Place Grid Penalty and 2 F1 Penalty Points for the Mexican GP
Carlos Sainz received a five-place grid penalty after causing a collision at Turn 15 by locking brakes during an inside overtake attempt, stewards said.
- On Sunday, Carlos Sainz was handed a grid penalty at the Mexican Grand Prix after colliding with Andrea Kimi Antonelli at the United States Grand Prix in Austin.
- Sainz attempted an inside overtake on Car 12 at Turn 15 and locked his brakes, causing contact at the apex.
- Stewards found the driver of Car 55 predominantly to blame under the Driving Standards Guidelines and assessed Sainz a time penalty plus two penalty points on the superlicence.
- The collision forced Sainz to retire from the United States Grand Prix due to car damage, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli dropped down the order but later recovered.
- Because Sainz failed to finish, officials converted his time penalty into a grid penalty to be applied at next weekend's Mexican Grand Prix following his retirement.
