Sainz Penalty Cut by Visibility | F1 News
Description
At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz received a five-second penalty for colliding with Oscar Piastri on lap 38—though stewards noted Sainz couldn’t see Piastri due to limited visibility, reducing his culpability from the usual ten-second penalty. Piastri, who lost the lead after the incident, later retired due to mechanical failure, while Sainz finished a dismal 18th. The call highlights how track positioning and situational factors can dramatically influence race penalties.
