Last weekend, the fourth round of the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship was held. In addition to updating the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Standings after the Bahrain race, it was also necessary to revise the penalty points table.
Carlos Sainz came under the scrutiny of the International Federation for a controversial episode during the race: in the heat of the battle, the Spaniard forced Andrea Kimi Antonelli off the track, an action that did not go unnoticed by the stewards, who penalised him with two points on his super licence.
