Formula 1 Drama: Sainz Slapped with Grid Penalty for Blocking Hamilton

In a shocking turn of events at the Japanese Grand Prix qualifying session, Williams driver Carlos Sainz has been hit with a three-place grid penalty for impeding none other than Lewis Hamilton, his successor at Ferrari. Sainz, who had originally qualified in 12th place, now faces a setback due to the penalty, which has elevated Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson, and Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda to positions 12, 13, and 14 respectively.

Formula 1 stewards didn’t hold back in their decision, determining that Sainz’s actions had unjustly obstructed the seven-time world champion at a crucial moment. The incident occurred at turn one, leaving Hamilton at a disadvantage during the qualifying session.
