Carlos Sainz handed heavy penalty after 'stupid' Liam Lawson collision

Carlos Sainz has been punished for the incident, despite blaming "stupid" Liam Lawson for their crash at Zandvoort.

Liam Lawson and Carlos Sainz have fallen out of the points at the Dutch Grand Prix after colliding at the race restart in Zandvoort.

The safety car had been deployed after Lewis Hamilton's afternoon-ending crash, but the pair could not avoid making contact on the exit of Turn 1.

Both got punctures for the incident; the Spanish driver on the front right and the New Zealander on the rear left.

Sainz was aggrieved by the situation, radioing in to his team, saying: "He's just so stupid. Oh my God. This guy, it's always the same guy."

The incident between the Williams and Racing Bulls drivers was investigated by the FIA stewards, with Sainz getting a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision.
