F1 stewards have ruled on a potentially pivotal Oscar Piastri investigation into what was deemed a yellow flag breach in Baku FP2
Formula 1 championship leader Oscar Piastri received a reprimand instead of a grid penalty for a yellow flag breach at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, following an investigation by the stewards. The incident occurred during second practice in Baku when Piastri allegedly ignored yellow flags displayed due to Pierre Gasly’s incident. While Piastri technically breached regulations, the stewards opted for a reduced penalty considering mitigating circumstances. Piastri’s first reprimand of the season means he must collect four more to face a 10-place grid drop. The outcome was a relief for McLaren, as both Piastri and Lando Norris faced challenges during practice. Despite the setback, Piastri and Norris acknowledged the session’s difficulties and remained focused on improving performance.
