Nico Hulkenberg faced penalties following an incident during the Formula 1 Austrian Sprint that forced a competitor off the track.

Haas F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg has faced critical ramifications following an on-track incident during the Austrian GP Sprint Race. The German driver was penalized for forcing Fernando Alonso off the track at Turn 3, which resulted in the Spaniard losing two race positions.

The incident, closely scrutinized under the sharp eyes of race stewards, resulted in Hulkenberg receiving a 10-second time penalty to his Sprint race time. Additionally, the stewards imposed 2 penalty points on Hulkenberg's super licence, increasing his total to 2 penalty points over a 12-month period.

The stewards provided a detailed account of the incident, based on thorough video and in-car video analyses. During an overtaking attempt, Hulkenberg locked up his brakes leading into Turn 3 and missed the crucial apex. This error caused his car to understeer towards the edge of the track, inadvertently blocking the path of Alonso and forcing it off the racing line.

"Decision: 10-second time penalty. . 2 penalty points ."The driver of Car 27 attempted an overtake on Car 14 into Turn 3 but locked up and missed the apex. The Car understeered to the very edge of the track, thereby preventing Car 14 from turning in and forcing the other driver off track."Lydia is the lead editor of F1 editorial. After following the sport for several years, she was finally able to attend the British Grand Prix in person in 2017.
