Formula One stewards will hold a virtual hearing on April 18 to decide whether there are grounds for reviewing a penalty that stripped Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz of points in the Australian Grand Prix.

FIA head of single seaters Nikolas Tombazis asked the stewards to consider Ferrari’s request for a review of the five-second penalty and decide whether or not there was a “significant and relevant new element”.
If they decide there is such an element, they will convene another hearing to re-open the investigation into the Albert Park incident….
