Bearman Given 10-Second Penalty for Sainz Clash at Monza, Now Two Points From F1 Ban

Two added licence points take his tally to 10 with no near-term drops expected.

Overview

  • Stewards ruled Carlos Sainz had the right to the racing line at the Roggia chicane and found Oliver Bearman predominantly at fault for the collision.
  • The verdict carried a 10-second time penalty and two super-licence points for causing a collision.
  • Bearman’s total rises to 10 penalty points, two short of the 12-point threshold that triggers an automatic one-race ban, with no points expiring over the next four events.
  • The 10-second sanction did not alter Bearman’s final classification of 12th.
  • Separate decisions penalised Esteban Ocon five seconds and one point for forcing Lance Stroll off track, and Andrea Kimi Antonelli five seconds and one point for dangerous defending against Alexander Albon.
