2026 Singapore Grand Prix: Antonelli avoids penalty

Autosport and Motorsport.com reported that Andrea Kimi Antonelli avoided a Singapore Grand Prix penalty despite four track-limits incidents.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli reportedly avoided a post-race penalty after what Autosport and Motorsport.com described as four track-limits incidents during the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix. Autosport reported that the usual five-second sanction would not have changed his finishing position because the Mercedes driver was classified third and finished 15.9 seconds clear of the car behind.

Based on the material provided, no official ruling is cited here, so the situation remains reported rather than confirmed. Motorsport.com reported that timing graphics showed four separate infringements during the 62-lap race, which led to questions after the chequered flag about why no sanction followed.

The result carried weight in the championship picture because Antonelli leads the 2026 drivers' championship on 340 points. The Italian has made 33 Formula 1 starts across 2025 and 2026, with five wins, five pole positions and 10 podiums for Mercedes.
