Daniel Ricciardo has been given a 3-place grid penalty for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix.
FIA stewards have imposed a three-place grid penalty on Daniel Ricciardo for overtaking under Safety Car conditions during the Chinese Grand Prix. The incident involving Ricciardo and Nico Hulkenberg has led to a penalty for the Australian driver, when many expected it to be the German driver who would receive the penalty.
This disciplinary action stems from an incident during the race where Ricciardo overtook Nico Hulkenberg's Car 27 under Safety Car conditions, a maneuver deemed illegal under the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. The stewards reviewed multiple pieces of evidence including the positioning and marshalling system data, video footage, timing data, team radio communications, and in-car video footage. Their investigation concluded that Ricciardo's actions breached Article 55.8 of the sporting regulations, which strictly prohibits overtaking under safety car conditions unless explicitly permitted.
As well as the drop of three grid positions at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, Ricciardo has been assigned two penalty points on his license, bringing his total to two for the current 12-month period. The immediate consequence for Ricciardo during the race would have been a 10-second time penalty. However, due to the car's retirement before the penalty could be served, the stewards opted for the grid penalty in the subsequent race instead.
