The McLaren F1 team principal was very happy about the 1-2 finish at Silverstone, but suggest that the penalty on Piastri was "harsh."

The lead car can dictate the pace of the restart, but Piastri was pinged by race stewards for "suddenly" braking. He received a 10-second time penalty, which he served during a pitstop. As a result, McLaren teammate Lando Norris took the race lead and went on to claim victory in his home Grand Prix.

McLaren F1 star Oscar Piastri was furious following the end of the British Grand Prix, after his championship lead was cut down to just eight points. Australian racer Piastri led the majority of the race, before a late safety car restart saw him commit an infringement, and be slammed with a 10-second time penalty by FIA race stewards.
