Overview

• Stewards rescinded Carlos Sainz’s two superlicence points from Zandvoort after Williams supplied new onboard footage, though his 10-second time penalty stands.
• Sainz, a GPDA director, renewed his push for at least two permanent stewards with one rotational member and argued cost should not block the change.
• Oliver Bearman sits on 10 penalty points after his Monza sanction for contact with Sainz and says he will adjust his racecraft to avoid triggering an automatic ban before points expire in Brazil.
• The stewarding notes upheld that Sainz had no right to room in the Zandvoort scenario, highlighting how guideline interpretation continues to confuse drivers such as Alex Albon.
• Williams boss James Vowles said Bearman’s Monza clash should have been a racing incident and urged processes that resolve such calls within race weekends.
