New episode on controversy over FIA sanctions on Spanish drivers in Formula 1.
When the Miami GP ends, with victory for Lando Norris (McLaren) and the Spanish Ferrari driver, Carlos Sainz, in fourth positionCareer Direction He reported that he will investigate an incident between the Madrid native and Oscar Piastri.
Both were pilots summoned to testify and finally the commissioners decided, punish Sainz with five seconds and a point on his licence.
As the Ferrari driver crossed the finish line with ‘only’ 3 seconds and 243 thousandths of an advantage over Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez (Red Bull), the Mexican driver took advantage of the penalty for took fourth place in the final, leaving Sainz in fifth position at the Miami GP.
Beyond the sanction itself, what? adding more fuel to the controversy between the Spanish drivers of the F1 World Championship (last weekend, Fernando Alonso also complained and even spoke to the FIA president) and the FIA administrators This is the standard difference when it comes to consent.
And, before the action in which Sainz was sanctioned, there was another ‘movement’ which, according to Ferrari, It should have ended with a sanction for Piastri.
The battle with Piastri ended in an overtaking in the limit of the Spaniard in the Australian 17 anchor in the Ferrari in the middle of the line. An action passed into the hands of race direction once it was over.
The day before, Alonso said that because he is Spanish the FIA did not judge in the same way. Carlos did not want to go into the issue of nationality but he asked for proof.
“I don’t think about nationalities, I think more about inconsistency. Today Piastri did the same to me as Magnussen did yesterday and they received I don’t know how many penalties and today he didn’t get any and he didn’t .give me my position back but we’re going to go like that… go for it.”
Finally, the commissioners checked this maneuver, butor they found reasons to punish the Australian. But to the Madrid native, yes. curious
The resolution of the commissioners to punish Carlos Sainz:
“The stewards listened to the driver of Car 81 (Oscar Piastri), the driver of Car 55 (Carlos Sainz), the team representatives and reviewed the video evidence and determined that Car 55 overtook Car 81 in corner 17 when it overshot the rear and collided with Car 81. The collision caused damage to Car 81’s front wing.”
“It is clear to us that car 55 is to blame for the collision. In attempting to overtake, car 55 caught on brakes, went over the top and in the process lost its rear end, along with the resulting collision. Although the car 81 tries to turn to counter the overtaking attempt, car 81 leaves enough space for car 55.
“Under the circumstances, we consider that car 55 is the main culprit for the collision. In this case, we consider, as mitigating factors, the fact that, but for the slight loss of control in rear part of car 55 , the collision probably wouldn’t have happened and it will be a tough but good race The standard penalty for a collision is 10 seconds with 2 penalty points In light of the circumstances, we impose a penalty of 5. seconds with 1. penalty point”.
