Oscar Piastri remains convinced that he didn’t deserve the penalty that cost him victory in F1’s British GP, while Max Verstappen finds it “strange” it’s taken this long for a driver to be penalised for braking like that before a restart
Oscar Piastri believes the penalty he received at the British Grand Prix was unjust, despite being given a 10-second time penalty and penalty points for braking erratically in front of Max Verstappen before a restart. Piastri argued that his braking on that occasion was consistent with how he approached previous restarts. McLaren team boss Andrea Stella also considered the penalty harsh after reviewing the restart. The incident raised comparisons to the Canadian GP, where George Russell was cleared of similar accusations. Piastri expressed confusion over the different outcomes between the two races. Despite serving the penalty, Piastri and McLaren intend to review the decision in the coming days.
