Carlos Sainz has been issued with a five-second time penalty – along with one penalty point on his licence – after being deemed to have caused a collision with Oscar Piastri during the Miami Grand Prix.

Sainz had originally crossed the line in fourth, but the penalty will drop him down to fifth, subsequently promoting Sergio Perez up into P4.

      As a McLaren fan, I actually agree. I think this could’ve gone down as a racing incident, but he was driving angry and definitely made a mistake because of it.

      I was seriously confused how insistent he had been earlier about Piastri needing to give him the place, too. He was stewing about it for lap after lap. Not a healthy mindset, Sainz.
