After his clash with Max Verstappen in Austria, Andrea Kimi Antonelli received a three-place grid penalty for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. Antonelli’s maneuver at Turn 3 resulted in him taking out Verstappen while trying to move up the grid, ending both their races prematurely. Despite starting ninth, Antonelli’s ambitions were dashed, losing the momentum from his previous podium finish. Verstappen, though a victim in the incident, expressed understanding, noting that every driver makes mistakes, and supported Antonelli’s talent to recover.
