Williams Appeal Sainz's 10-Second Penalty
Williams Racing has filed a right of review with the FIA to challenge Carlos Sainz's 10-second penalty and two Super Licence points from the Dutch Grand Prix incident involving Liam Lawson.
- Williams Racing has filed an appeal against the time penalty and license penalty points assigned to Carlos Sainz following his collision with Liam Lawson at the Dutch Grand Prix.
- The penalty resulted from stewards blaming Sainz for an attempted outside overtake at Turn 1 after a safety car restart, though Williams argues the decision lacked proper analysis.
- After the race, Sainz spent quarter of an hour in discussion with the stewards, expressing his belief that the penalty was unjust, while Williams filed a formal appeal with the FIA to challenge the decision.
- James Vowles stated the incident was a clear racing incident with no fault for Sainz, noting Lawson lost control momentarily and moved laterally into Sainz, which influenced the appeal.
- Williams remains hopeful for a positive outcome from the FIA review, emphasizing the importance of clear rules for future racing decisions following the Dutch Grand Prix collision.
