Oscar Piastri's grid penalty at Imola has reshuffled the starting lineup, moving him from the front row to fifth place after a qualifying incident.
Oscar Piastri's promising start at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has taken a downturn following a grid penalty for impeding Kevin Magnussen during qualifying. Initially placed second, the McLaren driver will now start from the fifth position.
"The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 81 , the driver of Car 20 , team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, team provided telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence. Piastri was exiting the pits and Magnussen was on his fast lap. Piastri impeded Magnussen at the chicane at Turns 2 and 3.
"However, the Stewards reviewed the team radio and Piastri's team did not warn him of the much faster approaching car until Magnussen was too close for Piastri to do anything to safely avoid impeding. In fact there was an approximately 140km/h speed differential and Magnussen was only approximately 40-50m behind at the time and this meant that Piastri was in the middle of the chicane when Magnussen caught up directly behind Piastri.
