Max Verstappen found Oscar Piastri’s penalty at the British Grand Prix “strange,” drawing parallels to a similar incident involving George Russell in Canada. Piastri’s 10-second penalty for a Safety Car infringement at Silverstone cost him a potential victory, as Lando Norris ultimately claimed the win. Verstappen, who jumped past Piastri after the Safety Car lights went out, expressed surprise at the penalty imposed post-race. Despite losing positions due to a spin at Stowe, Verstappen does not blame Piastri for his challenging race. The pressure discrepancy on brake pedals between Piastri and Russell has been noted, with Verstappen emphasizing the difficulty of regaining rhythm on cold tires after the incident.
