Charles Leclerc received a five-second penalty after the Brazilian Grand Prix for colliding with Liam Lawson, dropping to eighth. Kimi Antonelli and Oliver Bearman were also penalised. The stewards' decisions were confirmed post-race.

How the sources differ

Autosport and Motorsport.com provide identical detailed coverage, including all three penalties. Formula1.com focuses on Leclerc's drop to P7, while Sky Sports and Crash.net lead with the collision. The official FIA document (not present) would establish the exact stewards' reasoning, which the coverage summarises.

Recommended first read: Autosport's article is the most complete, covering all three penalties with a clear headline and image, and is not paywalled.
