Oscar Piastri has lost his front row starting position at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix after a three-place grid penalty for impeding another driver during qualifying.
The penalty promotes Piastri's teammate Lando Norris, the winner of the Miami Grand Prix two weeks ago, up to second on the grid alongside Verstappen, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc moving to P3 and Carlos Sainz on the second row.
"The Stewards accepted the explanation of Piastri that because of the layout of the circuit at that location, he could not see Magnussen until it was too late, at which time he tried to accelerate away in order to get clear of Magnussen as quickly as possible.
