Yuki Tsunoda has been dealt a three-place grid penalty for blocking Lewis Hamilton during qualifying for Formula 1's 2023 Dutch Grand Prix.
The stewards met with both drivers and deemed it to be a"potentially dangerous" manoeuvre from Sainz, who"immediately moved to the racing line".But, having listened to the team radio from Alfa Romeo's, they ruled that the Finn had been given ample warning but Sainz had not. Therefore, Ferrari should pay the fine.
The ruling stated:"By comparison, Sainz was warned not to cross the white line at the exit of the pits, and was not warned about Piastri until he was already alongside. "Sainz explained that he had briefly caught sight of Piastri as he was rounding Turn 1 at the pit exit and gauged that Piastri was on a slow lap.
"From then on, he did not see Piastri because of the relative angle of the cars. He also explained that he was trying to get to the drying line as quickly as possible."
