Punishment for Hadjar: Sainz angry after Canada qualifying!

Isack Hadjar, the pilot of the Racing Bulls team, was punished after the Formula 1 qualifying in Canada. The incident occurred when Hadjar Carlos Sainz hindered Q1 during his quick round, which led to a downgrading of three places for Hadjar. Sainz was frustrated after the incident and explained that his qualifying was severely affected. The consequence was that Sainz ultimately had to go into the race from 16th place after leaving Q1. Hadjar, on the other hand, will start the race from 12th place, despite the punishment.

The racing commissioners have, such as [formula1.com] (https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/Artjar-hit-with-grid-peding-for- ---gp.3S4ffudzbnzevdo2PKH) reported with video recordings and conversations decided both drivers to punish Hadjar. The incident occurred when Hadjar (Auto 6) was on an entry round and Sainz (Auto 55) caught in at the entrance to curve 6. Hadjar tried to leave the ideal line to make room for Sainz, but this movement was too late.

misunderstanding as the cause of the incident

Hadjar said that his team had previously told him that Sainz broke off his round. It was only when Hadjar Sainz saw in his back mirrors that he realized that his team's information was wrong. He apologized to Sainz and described the Situation as a misunderstanding.

The system of penalty points in Formula 1, which is also important for Hadjar, was developed to sanction drivers for their offenses. In total, drivers can collect up to 12 points within a year before they are blocked for a race. In the current penalty dot tanking, such as Motorsport.com, Max Verstappen currently has 11 points and is therefore about to risk a lock.

Current penalty points and effects

The current status of the penalty points for some drivers is as follows:

penalty points fall after 12 months, but warnings can also lead to additional punishments. Five warnings in one season mean a restoration of ten positions in the starting line -up, with four of the five warnings on driving offenses. With these regulations, Formula 1 wants to ensure that drivers act disciplined and responsibly.
