Having deemed the protest as admissible, the stewards revealed that “a number of track limit infringements had not previously been referred to th꧂e stewards for potential penalty”. 

The stewards have determined that “some of these infringements warranted a penalty that was not previously applied when the Provisional Classification wa🔥s published”. 

They concluded that “these penalties will be reflected in the Final Classification”.&nbs♌p;

F1’s governing body the FIA had already a💦dmitted it was unable to review “well over 1200” possible track limits offences that took place during Sunday’s 71-lap race. 

Drivers including Lewis Hamilton and Carlo✤s Sainz were hit with five-second penalties for abusing track limits.

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Mercedes’ George Russell were the onl𒆙y drivers to avoid being pinged with at least one infringement relating to track limits.
