Overview

  • Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly received warnings for failing to slow under a yellow flag during the Miami Grand Prix, avoiding race-altering penalties.
  • Stewards cited unusual circumstances, including poor flag visibility due to a single marshal post, a yellow background, and lack of light panels, as mitigating factors.
  • The yellow flag was triggered by Gabriel Bortoleto’s stopped car, which was hidden from drivers’ view behind an exit.
  • Sainz retained ninth place and Gasly remained 13th, as the warnings did not affect the race results.
  • A final-lap collision between Sainz and Lewis Hamilton was also investigated, but no further action was taken as neither driver was deemed predominantly at fault.
