Piastri Has Learnt From Costly Silverstone Penalty
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, ENGLAND, JUL 24 – Oscar Piastri received a 10-second penalty for erratic braking behind the safety car, prompting McLaren to seek clarity from the FIA to refine safety car restart rules.
- Oscar Piastri received a 10-second penalty at the 2025 British Grand Prix at Silverstone for erratic braking behind the safety car, costing him the win which went to teammate Lando Norris.
- The penalty came after stewards determined that Piastri suddenly slowed from 218 km/h to 52 km/h, causing Max Verstappen, who was immediately behind him, to react quickly and briefly pass him.
- After a two-week break, Piastri and McLaren discussed the incident with the FIA to clarify the circumstances and how it might be handled differently in future races.
- Piastri acknowledged that although similar braking actions had previously gone unpenalised, they will now be subject to penalties, and he plans to ease off on the braking intensity at future restarts.
- He expressed frustration immediately after the race but stated, "It's in the past now and I've moved on," while looking ahead to the Belgian Grand Prix, a track he has long enjoyed.
