The FIA handed driver Isack Hadjar a penalty for a breach in Austrian Grand Prix qualifying. Officials said they reviewed the evidence and that some factors delayed the ruling. The penalty will be served at his next race. He posted eighth place.
Hadjar had set an eighth‑place lap but said the car felt uncomfortable during the session. He stated to journalists the car was unstable. News sources PlanetF1, Formula 1 and DIVEBOMB Motorsport reported his struggles. They highlighted his pace fell short of his expectations. The sanction stands, and he will start the next event from the back of the grid.
