Kimi Antonelli Receives Three-Place Grid Penalty for Yellow Flag Violation at Hungarian GP
Formula 1 driver Kimi Antonelli, a championship contender for 2026, was handed a three-place grid penalty after the Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying session for not slowing sufficiently under yellow flags. The sanction drops him to a seventh-place start and could force a reshuffle of his pit‑stop strategy.
Antonelli hopes to extract maximum performance from his new power unit to minimise the points loss.
