FIA reverses penalty for Kimi Antonelli at Australian GP

The FIA has reversed Kimi Antonelli's five-second time penalty after the Australian Grand Prix. The penalty was imposed for an unsafe release during his final pit stop. Antonelli originally finished fourth but dropped to fifth due to the penalty. Mercedes appealed the decision, leading to the FIA reinstating Antonelli's fourth-place finish. The 18-year-old racer expressed his excitement after his impressive debut. He acknowledged the challenges but felt he learned a lot from the experience. In other news, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown has said Yuki Tsunoda should have been the driver chosen for Red Bull instead of Liam Lawson. Tsunoda outperformed Lawson at the end of the previous season but Lawson was still promoted. During the Australian Grand Prix, Lawson struggled with a power unit issue and crashed out. Tsunoda qualified fifth but faced issues due to a poor strategy decision from his team. Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur admitted mistakes in communication with Lewis Hamilton during the race. Hamilton was frustrated with the lack of clear messages from the Ferrari team. Vasseur recognized that improvements are needed in communication as they adapt together. He believes they can learn from their first race and do better in future events.
