Welcome to Monday’s version of the RaceFans round-up.
Remark of the day
Oscar Piastri’s 10-second time penalty for his collision with Andrea Kimi Antonelli prompted a variety of debate:
He hasn’t deviated from off the within line in any respect at any level and ran huge into Kimi, in truth the other is true, even with the lock-up he nonetheless had a lot grip (the within wheel is nearly unloaded into that nook, given the camber and drop, so it barely impacts flip in), he really managed to regulate his line away from Kimi and get onto an excellent tighter line up onto the kerb!
It’s simply not a penalty in my view. If it’s on anybody, it’s in all probability on Antonelli, however given he’s obtained a automotive both aspect, I wouldn’t even be too harsh on him there, it’s only a flip one racing incident at a restart with three making an attempt to enter one.
It feels just like the stewards have determined the harm to Leclerc and DNF because of this meant they needed to be seen to do one thing, and if something, they’ve went the improper means on the decision.Mark (@Mrcento)
