Carlos Sainz Criticizes Hamilton, Receives FIA Warning After Miami GP Collisions

Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton made contact during a late overtaking attempt by Sainz on the final lap of the Miami Grand Prix, resulting in both drivers being summoned to the stewards. The incident occurred when Sainz, driving for Williams, tried a late move on Hamilton at Turn 17, but neither driver was found predominantly at fault after review. The stewards concluded that both contributed to the collision—Sainz was not fully alongside to claim the racing line, while Hamilton turned in earlier than usual. As a result, no penalties were issued and both drivers retained their finishing positions, with Sainz in ninth. The race included additional tension as Hamilton was earlier involved in team order disputes with Charles Leclerc during a challenging stint. Sainz, despite a difficult race and investigations, managed to score points in what has been a tough start to his Williams career.
