Mark Webber weighs in on Oscar Piastri’s penalty at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix
Mark Webber compared Oscar Piastri’s Turn 1 incident at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix to a first-lap collision, where Piastri made an aggressive move after the Safety Car restart at Interlagos. Piastri locked up while trying to pass Kimi Antonelli, who didn’t provide enough space, resulting in contact. Although both Piastri and Antonelli escaped unharmed, Piastri moved ahead. However, the clash led to Charles Leclerc’s premature exit from the race. Piastri received a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points for the incident, with the stewards deeming him fully responsible. Despite Mark Webber feeling the penalty was harsh, Piastri now trails McLaren teammate Lando Norris by 24 points with three races remaining.
