McLaren boss Andrea Stella believes that responsibility for the clash between Oscar Piastri and Andrea Kimi Antonelli at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix should be shared. Piastri was reprimanded by stewards for causing a collision with Antonelli at Turn 1 after a Virtual Safety Car period. Despite being alongside Antonelli, contact was made during braking, sending Antonelli into Leclerc and causing the latter to retire. Piastri received a 10-second penalty for the incident. Stella defended Piastri, stating that responsibility should also lie with Antonelli, who knew Piastri was on the inside. Stella deemed the penalty harsh but respected the stewards’ decision and emphasized moving on from the incident.
