lor what could have ended in victory ends Fifth place following the final fine imposed by the FIA ​​on the Spaniard following the conclusion of the Miami Grand Prix. Carlos Sainzwho overtook Oscar Piastri a few laps earlier but did not complete the race due to illegally cutting the Australian off the track (which cost Magnussen several penalties on Saturday), was then fined for haste in subsequent actions and damage to the wing of the McLaren, when he should have gotten rid of this rival much earlier.

Inconsistency of criteria when judging head-to-head action between drivers on the grid is nothing new, and This time the Madrid player will have to pay 5 seconds to his final time. what takes fourth place to give it away Czech Perez (the author of the accident at the start), who leaves Ferrari last fifth at the Miami Grand Prix.

Permission

The stewards listened to the driver of car 81 (Oscar Piastri) and the driver of car 55 (Carlos Sainz), as well as team representatives and watched video evidence.

They determined that Car 55 was overtaking Car 81 at Turn 17 when it slightly missed the rear and collided with Car 81. The collision damaged Car 81’s front fender..

It was clear to us that car No. 55 was to blame for the collision. While trying to overtake, the El-55 braked late, missed the apex and in the process lost its rear end, resulting in a collision. Although car 81 tried to turn to counter the overtaking, it gave car 55 plenty of room.

In the circumstances, we consider vehicle No. 55 to be the primary culprit in the collision. In this case, as mitigating factors, we take into account the fact that, but for the slight loss of rear control of Vehicle 55, the collision probably would not have occurred and it would have been tough but good fight.

The standard penalty for a collision is 10 seconds with 2 demerit points. Therefore, subject to extenuating circumstances, a 5 second penalty with 1 penalty point will be imposed..

Inconsistency in the text

Reading study terms and assessments, with phrases like. “if not for the slight loss of the rear of the car”which only discards the voluntariness of Carlos, one can only conclude that he entered the field of philosophy, and not simple car racing.
