Carlos Sainz has been handed a three-place for the Canadian Grand Prix after being found guilty by the steward of impeding rival Pierre Gasly in the final stages of Q1 in qualifying in Montreal on Saturday afternoon.

Well here is some highly surprising news!

    Unfortunately well deserved. Ferrari’s race engineers really have screwed up badly the last few races.

      yes, quite weird how bad they managed traffic with two scary moments in the last corner. I put blame on both pit wall and Carlos.

    Surprised he didn’t get a second grid drop for the other one. They need a process of having a minimum mini sector time going into the last few corners.

    The FIA’s decision to stop giving penalty points for impending is looking a Bit dumb now. Regardless of not being told about those behind you by your team, you still don’t drive that slowly on the racing at the end of a straight.

    3 places for fucking over a direct competitor? Alpine is closer to Ferrari than Ferrari is to Merc/AM.

    Seems like he got a slap on the wrist…

    Honestly he should count himself lucky he got away with only one such penalty. I suspect he won’t though, he tends to be quite stubborn about insisting he’s not at fault even when he blatantly is.
