Oscar Piastri was found to be “wholly responsible” for his collision with Kimi Antonelli during Formula 1’s Brazilian Grand Prix, which cost Piastri a potential podium finish. Piastri received a 10-second penalty for the incident, dropping him to fifth place at the finish line. The collision occurred while Piastri was attempting to overtake Antonelli and move up from fourth to second position after a safety car restart at Turn 1. Piastri expressed uncertainty about his options during the incident and stated that he wouldn’t have acted differently if given another chance. The stewards determined that Piastri failed to establish the required overlap with Antonelli as per racing guidelines, leading to the collision and subsequent contacts that affected other drivers. Despite the penalty, Piastri believes that pushing any harder in the situation would have been overly ambitious, as he was already at the limit of control.
