Overview

• Williams secured a review by presenting new, significant evidence including Sainz’s 360-degree on-board, Lawson’s rear camera footage and the driver’s testimony.
• The stewards’ revised finding states no driver was wholly or predominantly to blame, designating the Zandvoort Turn 1 contact as an incident of the race.
• The two penalty points applied to Carlos Sainz’s superlicense were withdrawn, leaving him on two points and reducing immediate disciplinary risk below the 12-point ban threshold.
• The 10-second penalty served during the race cannot be retroactively altered, so the classification is unchanged with Sainz finishing 14th, 17 seconds behind Lawson.
• Williams welcomed the correction in an official statement and urged continued work with the FIA to strengthen stewarding decision-making and rule reviews.
