Carlos Sainz perhaps wisely chose not to give his honest reaction to the penalty which meant he would end the Australian Grand Prix with zero points.
The Spaniard was involved in a chaotic late race restart as every driver pushed as hard as they could to gain positions with just two racing laps to go. No fewer than five cars span in several incidents that all happened at once.
One of them saw Sainz tag the back wheel of Fernando Alonso, spinning his compatriot before the race was red flagged again. Alonso was able to restart in third place to secure another podium, but the stewards still took a dim view of the Ferrari racer's actions.
