• Williams’ petition was admitted on the strength of new 360-degree and rear-facing footage, with driver testimony discussed in the hearing for context.
• Carlos Sainz renewed calls for full-time stewards and James Vowles said guidelines feel murky, arguing decisions should be settled within the race weekend.
• Oliver Bearman sits on 10 penalty points after his Monza clash with Sainz, criticises the guidelines as harsh, and says he will modify his racing to avoid a ban.
• Liam Lawson now accepts the Zandvoort contact as a racing incident, as team principals warn the successful review could prompt more challenges to rulings.
