Williams launch bid to overturn controversial Sainz penalty
Williams have lodged a right of review request over Carlos Sainz's controversial penalty for colliding with Liam Lawson at the Dutch Grand Prix.Sainz tried to overtake Lawson around the outside at Turn 1 on a Safety Car restart with the pair battling for the points positions, but they made contact and both drivers received punctures. The stewards gave Sainz a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points on his super licence which the Spaniard declared a "complete joke" after the race.The stewards said Sainz's front axle was not ahead of Lawson's which meant the Racing Bulls driver had "the right to the corner" therefore Sainz was "wholly or predominantly to blame".Sainz finished 13th in Zandvoort and although his 10-second time penalty cannot be reversed, his two penalty points can.

‘They feel they let me down’ – Norris reveals McLaren apology after failure
Lando Norris says McLaren bosses Zak Brown and Andrea Stella apologised to him after an oil leak caused him to retire from the Dutch Grand Prix.Norris is 34 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri, having been on course to finish second at Zandvoort until a car part failed on the chassis side which led to an oil leak and the engine to shut down. The British driver found it "surprisingly easy" to "move on" from McLaren's first mechanical retirement since 2023's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix."It's not Andrea's fault, it's not Zak's fault. I think it was 60-something races without a technical failure, without any issues. I think that's a record for ourselves. It's something we're pretty proud about," said Norris ahead of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix."For that to happen now, that's just being unlucky. It wasn't a bad job […]
‘Hard-done-by’ Bateson gets his chance against Conlan
Jack Bateson would be forgiven for comparing Michael Conlan's career bitterly with his own.Conlan was an outstanding amateur, a two-time Olympian and a World Championship gold medallist. He turned professional to great fanfare at the Madison Square Garden Theater. He has had title opportunities against Leigh Wood and Luis Alberto Lopez, although was defeated in them both. A few months after Conlan made his pro debut in New York, Bateson had his. Even though Bateson had been a top international amateur himself, he began his professional career at a banqueting suite in Elland Road. He has operated largely on the small-hall circuit, despite winning multiple national titles as an amateur and a European Championship medal.
