SAKHIR, Bahrain (Reuters) -Williams Formula One driver Carlos Sainz could face a further hefty fine after he swore on Thursday while defending lateness that cost him 10,000 euros ($11,196) in Japan last weekend.

The Spaniard was fined 20,000 euros, with half suspended, after a "stomach issue" delayed him getting to the national anthem in time before Sunday's race at Suzuka.
