McLaren was dealt a blow in the F1 constructors’ title fight by the FIA, and here’s why.
At the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri was given a five-second time penalty for starting in the wrong position, which impacted his entire race. The penalty was due to his front tyres being outside the lines of his grid box. This violated Article 48.1.c of the F1 sporting regulations. The stewards reviewed data and video evidence before imposing the penalty. Despite the setback, Piastri managed to finish seventh behind Lando Norris and Ferrari secured third and fourth places. Ferrari now trails McLaren by just 24 points heading into the Qatar Grand Prix this weekend.
