Nikita Mazepin and Nicholas Latifi received 30-second time penalties and three licence penalty points for failing to slow sufficiently for yellow flags at the end of the Austrian Grand Prix.
Double-waved yellows were deployed on the penultimate lap of the Red Bull Ring race after Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen collided on the run to Turn 5.
Wheel-to-wheel contact fired both cars into the gravel, with Vettel unable to get going.
Eight drivers were summoned to the stewards for allegedly failing to respect the ensuing yellow flags: Carlos Sainz, Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo, Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, Antonio Giovinazzi, Mazepin and Latifi.
All except Mazepin and Latifi were judged to have taken the appropriate action.
The stewards felt those two did not slow sufficiently and thus imposed a stop-go penalty converted into 30s added to their race time.
Two points on their licence takes Latifi to six in the last 12 months while rookie Mazepin is now on five.
Latifi’s penalty will drop him from 15th to 16th while Mazepin finished last anyway.
Raikkonen was also penalised for causing the incident with Vettel.
