FIA documents

Franco Colapinto received a 10-second time penalty and 1 penalty point for failing to reduce speed sufficiently in a single yellow flag sector during the Mexico City Grand Prix.

Pierre Gasly was given a stop and go penalty after the race for not reducing speed sufficiently under double yellow flags.

The stewards have summoned Pierre Gasly to attend a hearing regarding an alleged failure to slow for yellow flags.

The stewards decided no further action after Pierre Gasly left the track at Turn 1, yielded position, and had minor contact with Lawson, as correct positions were achieved by Turn 5.

Sergio Pérez was given a five second time penalty for exceeding the pit lane speed limit by 0.2 km/h during the race.

Carlos Sainz fined €1000 for exceeding the pit lane speed limit during reconnaissance laps.
