#F1 #ValtteriBottas penalty
I had missed that Bottas will not be facing 5-place grid penalty that was “awarded” in 2024. Being older than 12 months, and not over the threshold 😀

…it has been confirmed that the Finn will not have to serve that penalty in Australia.
As stated in article B2.5.4 of the latest sporting regulations "classified drivers who have 15 or less cumulative unserved grid penalties for the Race imposed in the previous twelve (12) months will be allocated a temporary grid position equal to their Qualifying session classification plus the sum of their unserved grid penalties." As Bottas' penalty was issued before the 12-month time limit, he will not have to serve that previously imposed penalty.
