❌ Burn grass pre-emptively βœ… Treat the grass with water The latest on F1's plan to stop grass fires derailing the Japanese GP:

🚨 3-place grid penalty for Sainz for impeding Hamilton at Turn 1 during qualifying. Sainz said that he had no warning from the team that Hamilton was approaching on a push lap - but irrespective of that the standard penalty for impeding has been applied.
