\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nWilliams has submitted a “right of review” request regarding the penalty imposed on Carlos Sainz in the Dutch Grand Prix.\n\nSainz was penalized with 10 seconds for causing a collision with Liam Lawson, after both drivers touched in Turn 1 after the first of the three safety car periods.\n\nBoth cars suffered punctures after the incident and fell to the back of the grid, before Sainz served his penalty at his next pit stop.\n\nTeams can challenge the stewards’ decisions by requesting a right of review, but to succeed they must present significant and relevant evidence that was not available to the stewards when they made their decision.\n\n

We can confirm that we have submitted a right of review to the FIA regarding Carlos’ penalty in Zandvoort. It is important for us to understand how to race in the future, and we hope for a positive outcome.<\/p>Williams Spokesperson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe incident occurred after a safety car period in Zandvoort, when Sainz placed his car on the outside of Lawson at Turn 1 in the hope of opening an opportunity to overtake in the following corners.\n\nThe stewards decided to penalize Sainz for the resulting collision based on a strict interpretation of the guidelines on driving rules, which state that a car overtaking on the outside is only entitled to space at the exit of the corner if “its front axle is ahead of the other car’s front axle at the apex”.\n\nAt no point in the Sainz movement did his front axle align with or go ahead of Lawson’s, which meant that the resulting collision was considered his fault.\n\nSainz stated in a press conference on Thursday in Monza that he visited the stewards after the race to discuss the decision and affirmed that they saw the incident differently after listening to him.\n\n

I had the opportunity to sit with them for 15 minutes to analyze the incident. I was very clear that, as soon as they obtained all the correct evidence and looked at the places where they had to make the right decision, it became clear to me that I think they realized that probably the decision made was not the best.<\/p>Carlos Sainz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nSainz added: “I think they have an incredibly difficult job, and sometimes they also have restricted time. I think what happened in my case in Zandvoort was a consequence of trying to rush a decision without delving into the analysis.\n\nIf you simply apply the rule of the regulations, you could understand why they would want to penalize me. The moment you analyze the onboard images and go into detail, you can clearly see why I should never have received a penalty.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
