Kimi Antonelli has spoken about Oscar Piastri’s costly 10-second time penalty in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli believes his collision with Oscar Piastri in the Brazilian GP could have been deemed a “racing incident” but that a penalty was the correct decision. Piastri’s attempt to go three-wide into Turn 1 on the early safety car restart led to a collision with Antonelli’s Mercedes and Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari, ultimately eliminating Leclerc from the race. Piastri was given a 10-second penalty and two penalty points for the incident, finishing fifth instead of potentially second. Antonelli agrees with the penalty, citing adherence to current racing guidelines. Looking ahead, discussions are planned in Qatar to potentially improve future guidelines for similar situations.
