Alex Albon was penalised with a stop-and-go penalty by the FIA at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. The stewards considered that Williams sent their Formula 1 car onto the track in an unsafe condition.
Albon heavily penalised by FIA
After a pit stop, the Williams driver had to re-enter because his right front tyre was loose. The stewards reviewed footage and saw that it was clear the tyre was loose, after which the F1 team allowed Albon to drive off anyway. According to the regulations, the FIA therefore had no choice but to impose a severe sanction: a stop-and-go penalty. This required Albon to stop with his team, stand still for 10 seconds and drive off again without being allowed to change tyres.
