FIA confirms Kimi Antonelli punishment after Brazilian GP incident

Kimi Antonelli has received a five-second time penalty after a Mercedes unsafe release at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

The Silver Arrows admitted to the FIA stewards that the release could have been handled better, as a “potentially unsafe situation” was created for the Alpine of Franco Colapinto. As such, five seconds was added to Antonelli’s race time. It will not impact his finishing position of fifth.
