Penalties alter Canadian Grand Prix grid

Carlos Sainz received a three-place grid penalty for the Canadian Grand Prix after impeding Pierre Gasly during qualifying. Gasly had to swerve to avoid a collision, and the incident affected his lap time, resulting in his being knocked out of the session. Sainz's penalty meant he started 11th on the grid, with Oscar Piastri, Alex Albon, and his teammate Charles Leclerc moving up. Yuki Tsunoda received a penalty for a separate incident involving Nico Hulkenberg, while Lance Stroll was penalized for obstructing Esteban Ocon in Q2. Hulkenberg also received a penalty for not slowing down enough during a red flag, causing a reshuffling of the starting positions, with Fernando Alonso moving up to second and Lewis Hamilton and George Russell gaining a position each.
