McLaren feel Kimi Antonelli was partly at fault in the three-way clash involving Oscar Piastri.
McLaren believes that Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli could have taken more action to avoid the three-way collision with Oscar Piastri at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Piastri received a 10-second penalty for causing the incident that involved Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc on Lap 6. Despite significant damage to Leclerc’s Ferrari, both Piastri and Antonelli were able to continue racing. Antonelli finished in second place, while Piastri settled for fifth, falling 24 points behind his McLaren teammate Lando Norris in the title race. McLaren’s team principal thought Antonelli shared responsibility for the crash, and the penalty was deemed “harsh.” Piastri and Leclerc also disagreed on the penalty, with Leclerc saying that Antonelli was equally at fault.
