Overview
- A virtual Right of Review hearing is scheduled for Friday, 12 September at 15:30 CEST to consider Williams's petition.
- The process will run in two parts, with an initial admissibility test before any full reconsideration of the original decision.
- Racing Bulls have been asked to make a representative available should the review proceed, and other concerned parties may seek permission to attend.
- Sainz received a 10‑second penalty and two licence points for contact with Liam Lawson at Zandvoort’s Turn 1 during a Safety Car restart.
- Overturning the sanction would not change Sainz’s 13th‑place finish as the penalty was served in a pit stop, but Williams is targeting the licence points and clearer stewarding precedent, citing onboard evidence of Lawson correcting a mid‑corner snap that may not have been available live.
