Carlos Sainz receives a reprimand
Carlos Sainz received a reprimand after the third free practice session for exiting his pit lane in a dangerous manner.
The first reprimand of the year has been issued. Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz is responsible for it. The Spaniard received a gentle warning from the stewards this Saturday.
The one who will start from the third position on the grid during the Bahrain GP was released from his garage in a dangerous manner during free practice 3, forcing Fernando Alonso to brake to avoid a collision.
If the Spanish driver didn’t receive a penalty, however, he did acknowledge the facts in front of the commissioners.
The driver acknowledges that he was at fault in this incident due to a misunderstanding of the mechanic’s communication signals, exacerbated by his lack of vision on the side of the car, the FIA statement indicated.
