Carlos Sainz handed Azerbaijan F1 grid drop for yellow flag breach

Williams driver Carlos Sainz has been handed a five-place grid drop for Saturday's Azerbaijan GP in Baku as a punishment for speeding under yellow flags in qualifying.

At the end of Q3, Sainz was the last of three cars to be hindered by a yellow flag in Turn 3 for Lando Norris, who had gone off into the escape road. As Sainz approached the braking zone, Norris had already returned to the track, but the Spaniard still had to observe a local yellow into the 90-degree left-hander.
