Overview

• Stewards annulled Sainz’s 10‑second time penalty and removed two licence points from the Dutch Grand Prix incident with Liam Lawson.
• Williams succeeded under the FIA Right of Review by submitting Sainz’s 360‑degree onboard, Lawson’s rear‑facing camera and Sainz’s post‑race testimony as new elements.
• After re-examining the material, stewards judged the clash a racing incident and noted Lawson experienced a brief loss of control without assigning predominant blame to either driver.
• The race classification remains unchanged because Sainz served the time penalty during the event, which stewards said they cannot retroactively offset.
• Williams welcomed the ruling and emphasized process improvements, while the removal of the points reduces Sainz’s disciplinary exposure going forward.
