The final result of the Australian Grand Prix could yet be changed after Ferrari appealed against a five-second penalty given to Carlos Sainz which resulted in his finishing position moving from fourth on track to 12th.
The punishment came after a huge five-car crash in the final few laps which saw Sainz punished for hitting the back wheel of Fernando Alonso amid a hectic restart. The Spaniard was given a five-second penalty and with no racing laps remaining, drivers finished in neutral conditions behind a safety car.
Despite finishing fourth on track, the penalty resulted in Sainz being relegated to 12th and losing 12 points in the driver's championship.
