After a thorough investigation, the stewards determined that he slowed sufficiently in the zone, and therefore avoided a time-penalty.
Sainz crossed the line in fourth place but was promoted into third after Lewis Hamilton received a time penalty for making contact with Alexander Albon on the penultimate lap of the race.
It marks Sainz's first podium finish and McLaren's first since the 2014 Australian Grand Prix, over five and a half years ago.
