Kimi Antonelli will serve a grid penalty at next weekend’s F1 British Grand Prix…
Kimi Antonelli received a three-place grid penalty for causing a collision with Max Verstappen at the F1 Austrian Grand Prix by misjudging his braking at Turn 3 on the opening lap. The incident occurred as Antonelli was forced to take evasive action due to cars braking early in front of him. Both drivers were forced out of the race after the collision, with Verstappen expressing frustration over team radio. Antonelli apologized to Verstappen following the incident, and the stewards determined the penalty was necessary, citing Antonelli’s locking up of the rear brakes and subsequent collision as the reason. The stewards opted for a more lenient approach given the circumstances, acknowledging that Antonelli’s actions were a result of evasive maneuvers rather than a deliberate attempt to overtake. As a result, Antonelli will serve the grid penalty at the next race in Silverstone.
