In a dramatic turn of events ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, the FIA has officially ordered a substitute driver for one of Formula 1’s leading stars following a severe penalty ruling. The decision comes after a recent investigation concluded that the driver in question breached multiple regulations during the previous race weekend.
While the FIA has not yet publicly disclosed the full details of the violation, sources close to the paddock reveal that the penalty involves both sporting and technical infractions, making the driver ineligible to participate in this weekend’s event. The move has sent shockwaves through the F1 community, with teams scrambling to adjust their race strategies.
As a result, the affected team has been instructed to field their reserve driver for the Canadian GP. The substitute, who has been actively involved in simulator duties and test sessions throughout the season, is now set to make an unexpected appearance on the Formula 1 grid.
FIA officials have emphasized that this decision was made to uphold the integrity of the sport and ensure fair competition for all participants.
Further updates, including the identity of the penalized driver and confirmation of the substitute, are expected in the coming hours as the F1 world braces for another highly charged Grand Prix weekend.
