The penalty is due to an incident that occurred during the United States Grand Prix, where he collided with Andrea Kimi Antonelli&#8217;s Mercedes.\n\nThe incident occurred when Sainz was trying to overtake Antonelli at Turn 15 to gain seventh position. Upon braking, he locked the wheels and caused the contact.\n\nSainz was forced to abandon the race due to the damage suffered to his car, while Antonelli, although he fell in the classification, managed to recover to thirteenth position.\n\nThe 10-second time penalty imposed on Sainz during the race was converted into a five-place grid penalty for the next race in Mexico, because he did not finish the competition.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1019%2Fr1562577_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos Sainz\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Carlos Sainz tuvo que abandonar la carrera tras la colisi\u00f3n, mientras que Kimi Antonelli finaliz\u00f3 en la posici\u00f3n 13.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nAccording to the stewards&#8217; statement, Sainz was deemed responsible for the incident, as he had not earned the right to space on the curve&#8217;s trajectory.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The driver of car 55 maintained that he expected the driver of car 12 to leave him space at the apex, but car 12 turned in earlier and car 55 locked the brakes when it became apparent that the collision was inevitable.<\/p>\n<cite>Stewards&#8217; Statement<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Sainz Penalized for the Mexican Grand Prix Spanish driver Carlos Sainz has been penalized with five positions on the starting grid for the Mexican Grand Prix.
