Summary

Franco Colapinto receives a 10-second time penalty and one penalty point for failing to slow under a single yellow flag in Turn 3 during the Dutch Grand Prix.

Explanation

The stewards reviewed video, timing, telemetry, and in-car video evidence, determining that Car 43 (Franco Colapinto) did not discernibly reduce speed while passing a single yellow flag in Turn 3, despite a visible warning on the dashboard. The infringement was not deemed dangerous or egregious, so a lower-end penalty of a 10-second time penalty and one penalty point (totaling four over the 12-month period) was imposed.
