The Spaniard also had two penalty points added to his Super Licence for the incident, putting him on four overall for the current 12-month period.<\/p>\n

First, the appellant must demonstrate new and noteworthy evidence, only after which the incident will be reconsidered.<\/p>\n If the evidence presented does not meet the \u2018new and noteworthy\u2019 criteria, the right of review will no proceed.<\/p>\n In an address to Williams staff on the eve of the Italian Grand Prix weekend, team principal James Vowles indicated that the review is unlikely to take place until the second half of this week.<\/p>\n And he confirmed that the team is keen to see Sainz\u2019s penalty points from Zandvoort erased from his record, as well as seeking more clarity from the FIA over racing situations.<\/p>\n He told Williams staff at Monza: \u201cWe\u2019ve put in a right of review for what happened between Liam and Carlos in Zandvoort.<\/p>\n \u201cThe reason behind that is, A) there\u2019s two points on Carlos\u2019s licence I want to make sure are removed.<\/p>\n \u201cBut actually, the more important point we want to do is really establish how to go racing and make sure that when things are perhaps are a mistake, correct them, so that all [of] us and the FIA know how we\u2019re moving forward on this.<\/p>\n \u201cMy suspicion is that won\u2019t be reviewed until mid-next week or so.\u201d<\/p>\n More on Carlos Sainz and Williams from PlanetF1.com<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Carlos Sainz news<\/a><\/p>\n
