Carlos Sainz has been slapped with a grid penalty for the Canadian Grand Prix after a scary near-miss with Pierre Gasly.
The Spaniard landed himself in hot water with the Formula 1 stewards during qualifying on Saturday. It was towards the end of Q1 when the incident occurred, as he prepared for his final flying lap.
Sainz was dawdling heading into the final chicane with Yuki Tsunoda to his right. But Gasly was coming in hot to his left, also keen to start one more lap, and had to drive off the track as he swerved to narrowly avoid hitting the Ferrari.
