The Australian driver qualified on the front row for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix but was penalized to fifth place for impeding Kevin Magnussen. Despite passing Sainz with a successful undercut and getting close to Leclerc, Piastri couldn’t overtake the other Ferrari and finished fourth. He criticized the FIA’s decision to shorten the DRS zone, calling for it to be extended for better passing opportunities in the future.
