Welcome to Monday’s edition of the RaceFans round-up.
Comment of the day
Oscar Piastri’s 10-second time penalty for his collision with Andrea Kimi Antonelli prompted a lot of debate:
He hasn’t deviated from off the inside line at all at any point and ran wide into Kimi, in fact the opposite is true, even with the lock-up he still had so much grip (the inside wheel is virtually unloaded into that corner, given the camber and drop, so it barely impacts turn in), he actually managed to adjust his line away from Kimi and get onto an even tighter line up onto the kerb!
It’s just not a penalty in my opinion. If it’s on anyone, it’s probably on Antonelli, but given he’s got a car either side, I wouldn’t even be too harsh on him there, it’s just a turn one racing incident at a restart with three trying to go into one.
It feels like the stewards have decided the damage to Leclerc and DNF as a result meant they had to be seen to do something, and if anything, they’ve went the wrong way on the call.Mark (@Mrcento)
