Andrea Kimi Antonelli received a three-place grid penalty for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix following a collision with Max Verstappen in Austria, resulting in both drivers retiring from the race. Antonelli admitted fault, apologized to Verstappen, and was deemed solely responsible by the stewards. The incident occurred when Antonelli locked his rear tyres into Turn 3 while trying to avoid another car, leading to the collision with Verstappen. Despite the traditional leniency on lap 1 incidents not being considered, it was acknowledged that Antonelli’s action was not deliberate, but a result of evasive measures. Verstappen, showing understanding and sportsmanship, expressed empathy towards Antonelli, recognizing that mistakes happen and expressing confidence in the young driver’s talent and ability to learn from the experience.
