Former Haas F1 boss calls out FIA over 'lenient' Carlos Sainz Hungarian GP penalty

Former Haas Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner has argued that Carlos Sainz should have received a harsher penalty for his collision with Oscar Piastri at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

During the race at the Hungaroring, Sainz made contact with Piastri's McLaren while being lapped.

The Spaniard was subsequently handed a five-second penalty by the stewards.
