Formula 1: McLaren Team Principal Stella Calls Piastri’s Brazil GP Penalty ‘harsh’
McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella: McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella has described Oscar Piastri’s penalty at the São Paulo Grand Prix as “definitely on the harsh side”, after the Australian was handed a 10-second time penalty for a collision with Kimi Antonelli during Sunday’s race.
Piastri finished fifth at Interlagos after serving the penalty during his first pit stop. The stewards deemed him wholly responsible for the Lap 20 incident, which occurred immediately after a Safety Car restart when he attempted an inside move on Antonelli at Turn 1.
The two made contact, sending the Mercedes rookie into Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari, who had been trying to pass around the outside. The clash forced Leclerc to retire, while Piastri initially moved up to second behind teammate and eventual race winner Lando Norris — before the penalty cost him a potential podium.
