Overview

• Williams secured Article 14 admission by presenting 360-degree footage from Sainz’s car and rear-facing video from Lawson’s.
• After reviewing the new angles and testimony, officials reclassified the Turn 1 contact as a racing incident.
• The panel found Lawson suffered a brief loss of control before the collision, meaning no driver was wholly or predominantly at fault.
• The two super-licence points were rescinded, leaving Sainz on two points, while the 10-second penalty he served stands.
• Williams welcomed the ruling and said it will work with the FIA to improve stewarding processes, with a virtual second hearing finalizing the reversal.
