Why Antonelli avoided a penalty that seemed obvious

Kimi Antonelli faced four track limits violations during the Singapore Grand Prix but managed to avoid a five-second penalty after Mercedes successfully challenged one of the infractions. The stewards reviewed the situation and determined that one of the violations should not count, allowing Antonelli to escape sanction despite having multiple warnings throughout the race.

Antonelli reported experiencing brake issues that affected his performance, particularly during the virtual safety car restart. His team principal, Toto Wolff, commented on Antonelli's tendency to push track limits, indicating that while he is learning, there is still room for improvement. The ongoing debate about his approach to track limits suggests that he is testing boundaries as he matures as a driver.
