The FIA imposed driver Isack Hadjar the sanction for a breach in Austrian Grand Prix qualifying. Officials said they examined the evidence and that a few factors delayed the ruling. The penalty will take effect at his next race. He posted eighth place.
Hadjar had set an eighth‑place lap but said the car was uneasy during the session. He told reporters the car was unstable. Media outlets PlanetF1, Formula 1 and DIVEBOMB Motorsport reported his struggles. They observed his pace fell short of his expectations. The penalty remains, and he will begin the upcoming race from the rear of the grid.
