Última hora: La FIA impone una sanción de última hora al piloto de Red Bull en la F1

In a surprising twist just ahead of the race weekend’s finale, the FIA has announced a late penalty for a Red Bull Racing driver, sending ripples through the Formula 1 community. The punishment follows a post-session review of an incident that was initially considered minor, but after further investigation, has led to a significant consequence that may impact both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship standings.

According to insiders, the Red Bull car was found to have breached FIA regulations. The complexity of the case delayed an immediate ruling, but after a detailed analysis, the stewards have now issued a grid or time penalty, dropping the driver from his original starting position.

Details of the Ruling

The FIA explained in a statement:

“After reviewing telemetry and all available video evidence, Car #__ was found to have violated Article __ of the FIA Sporting Regulations. A penalty has been applied, resulting in an amended starting grid.”

This decision reshuffles the grid and has intensified existing tensions between Red Bull and the FIA. Team boss Christian Horner is reportedly considering a protest or demanding clarification on the consistency and timing of the penalty.

Red Bull’s Reaction

Red Bull responded quickly, issuing a short statement:

“We are disappointed with the timing of the decision, especially given the earlier uncertainty. We’re evaluating our next steps and fully stand behind our driver.”

Championship Stakes

This sudden setback could have serious implications for Red Bull’s title campaign. With Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren closing the gap, every position on the grid and every point earned is critical. A penalty-induced drop in starting position could severely impact strategy—particularly on circuits where overtaking is limited.

As the pressure mounts and scrutiny over FIA decision-making grows, attention will now shift to how the penalized Red Bull driver performs—and whether this latest controversy reignites debate over fairness and consistency in Formula 1 officiating.
