While antonelli

Australian Grand Prix: The five-second time penalty handed to Kimi Antonelli during the Australian Grand Prix has been removed after Mercedes submitted a successful ‘Right of Review’ request over the incident that sparked the penalty.

In an action-packed race that featured changing weather conditions, the stewards deemed that Antonelli had been released into the path of Kick Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg in the pit lane and subsequently handed the Italian a five-second time penalty.

While Antonelli had worked his way forward from a starting slot of P16 to cross the line in P4, the penalty resulted in the teenager being dropped down to P5 in what was his debut F1 race.
