Williams submits right of review for Sainz Dutch GP penalty

Williams has submitted a Right of Review request to the FIA challenging the 10-second penalty given to Carlos Sainz for a collision with Liam Lawson during the Dutch Grand Prix. The incident occurred at Turn 1 after a safety car restart, where Sainz attempted an outside overtake but made contact with Lawson, resulting in punctures for both and leaving them a lap down. Williams and Sainz argue that the penalty was unjust, with team principal James Vowles stating it was a racing incident and that Lawson momentarily lost control, contributing to the collision. Sainz met with the stewards post-race, expressing his belief that the initial decision was flawed and hopes to provide new evidence to overturn the penalty. The FIA will first determine if the submitted evidence is significant and relevant before potentially holding a second hearing to reconsider the case. Despite the penalty being served during the race, Williams seeks clarity on stewarding decisions to better understand future racing conduct.
