McLaren boss Andrea Stella has defended the FIA stewards despite Oscar Piastri’s in-race penalty at the British Grand Prix.
McLaren boss Andrea Stella defended the FIA stewards’ work but promised talks to understand Piastri’s penalty. Piastri was leading the wet British GP under a safety car after a crash on Lap 19. He slowed abruptly at the end of Lap 21, receiving an “extreme” 10-second penalty and two penalty points. The penalty cost Piastri the win, benefiting team-mate Lando Norris. Stella, after investigating, praised the stewards’ difficult job but planned further discussions with them and the FIA for clarity. McLaren will seek a constructive dialogue to ensure fair decisions in the future.
