The FIA confirmed that Oscar Piastri faced additional punishment at the Brazilian Grand Prix, impacting his F1 title challenge. Piastri’s teammate Lando Norris’s win and pole position added pressure as Piastri’s championship hopes dwindled. During the race, Piastri attempted a risky move on Kimi Antonelli, resulting in contact that forced Charles Leclerc to retire. Piastri received a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points for causing the collision. With six points now, he faces a deadline in December after the Abu Dhabi finale. Despite the setbacks, Piastri reflected on the incident, acknowledging the penalty but defending his racing decisions. Norris’s victory extended his championship lead over Piastri by 24 points, shaping a challenging season ahead.
