Typical Silverstone. As a couple of commentators said yesterday, it's a frustrating place to drive. Always rains off and on, and the track struggles to clear the water. *smile* British weather in Summer, all the time.
Big mistake by Piastri. Way over the acceptable psi when braking behind the safety car.
Anyway, suck *smile* Verstappen.

Agree. He'll learn. But 10secs was too much. 10secs is what Verstappen got for deliberately driving into Russell during the Spanish GP. 5 Secs and there would have been a race on.
I can't see McLaren fighting too hard for Oscar when the penalty was being debated. it was still a McLaren 1-2 but with local boy Norris winning his home GP. win win win for McLaren
Yep, as we all know, Tiger got shafted.

Incredible data suggests Oscar Piastri unlucky with inconsistent Safety Car penalty
Fresh data from Oscar Piastri's McLaren has offered new insight into the penalty that cost him victory in the British GP.

They don't like that level of braking - regardless of him doing it earlier. 59.2 psi ....which is too much.Yep, as we all know, Tiger got shafted.

Russell was under review in Canada but escaped penalty because his psi was 30. Oscar's was twice that, so he was always gonna come under scrutiny, especially from a speed of 200 plus.
He knows the car behind him is gonna follow him so to jump on the chains that hard, nah. He was soliciting trouble.
Hah hah hah.Hater
Well, just to add to that hate, I'd have to check this but I think he might have also dobbed himself in.
He said he jumped on the brakes when the safety car lights went out but I think you've gotta be within 10 car lengths when they do. He'd left a gap of half the Hangar Straight.
Would need to check that though.

Either he had a problem, or he deliberately made one for Oscar by overshooting him.
Dunno. Hopefully Oscar gets his head right. I did laugh at his plea to the team for team orders to let him back in front of Norris because the penalty was, in their opinion, wrong. I mean, worth a shot, but was never going to happen.
"I don't think the penalty before was very fair," adding, "I know it's a big question, but if you don't think it was fair either, I think we should swap back and race."
Yeah because he's the first one to see Piastri scoot off. Of course he's gonna follow him and be the first to run up his arse.
Yep, I wouldn't put it past Mad Max to do that.
Being teammates who are both in Championship contention, letting him back in front was never going to happen. If they did do it would've given good grounds to appeal the penalty, but again for the same reason it was never going to happen.
