Williams’ ‘Right of Review’ over Sainz penalty successful
Williams' 'Right of Review' concerning Carlos Sainz's 10-second penalty at the Dutch Grand Prix has been successful. Sainz, driving for Williams, initially received the penalty for a collision with Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson.
The team presented new 360-degree camera footage, leading stewards to rescind their original decision and classify the incident as a racing incident. While the time penalty served during the race cannot be reversed, the two penalty points issued to Sainz have now been removed, a significant outcome for the driver and team, confirming no driver was predominantly to blame for the contact.
