Oscar Piastri was issued a costly time penalty at the British Grand Prix while in the lead of the race.
The F1 stewards explained the rationale behind giving Oscar Piastri a severe 10-second time penalty at the British Grand Prix. Piastri, who had overtaken Max Verstappen, applied sudden brakes during a safety car restart, causing Verstappen to take evasive action. The penalty cost Piastri the lead to his team-mate Lando Norris after their final pit stops. Piastri, though disappointed, refrained from discussing the incident in depth in his post-race interview. The stewards detailed that Piastri’s abrupt braking breached Article 55.15 of the FIA Sporting Regulations, leading to the imposed time penalty and two points on his super licence.
