There is no good news at home Ferrari. During qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz is under investigation for causing an impediment against Pierre Gasly.
Canada Qualifying: What happened
It all happens at the last corner: Gasly is in the loop – crucial to saving himself from Q1 – and approaches the wall of champions to cross the finish line. Sainz appears in front of him and has no room to move, considering that Yuki Tsunoda's AlphaTauri was ahead of him. Gasly, to avoid contact, he goes long and fails to qualify for Q2. The Frenchman, in fact, in tomorrow's match scheduled for 20.00 pm, he will start in 17th position, between the two AlphaTauri of Tsunoda (sixteenth) and De Vries (eighteenth).
Sainz-Gasly under investigation
The FIA has decided to put the case under investigation, saying it will review it once qualifying is completed. In addition to preventing Sainz-Gasly, again at the end of the session, Tsunoda's impediment towards Nico Hulkenberg will also be examined.
What will the FIA do?
What will be the FIA's decision? There is still no certainty about this, considering that Sainz had Tsunoda in front of him and could not perform any other maneuver besides the one done on the track. If the race directors were to find both Sainz and Tsunoda guilty, they would automatically take action – cas happened for Leclerc in Monaco - the three penalty positions on the starting grid.
