Oscar Piastricopied an official FIA warning for exceeding under safety car after the checkered flag of the Canada Grand Prix. The Australian pilot was the victim of a crazy movement at the end of the race on Sunday when his teammate at McLaren, Lando Norris, struck him from the rear while trying to exceed him.

Plastri was fourth, followed closely by Norris four towers from the finish. But the disaster occurred for McLaren when the British pilot tried to dig a non -existent gap. Norris struck his teammate and struck the wall, ending his race thanks to the intervention of the safety car.

Norris immediately recognized his guilt and qualified her actions as “stupid”. The Briton said on the team’s radio: “I’m sorry, everything is bad. Everything is my fault. Unfortunately, sorry, it was stupid on my part. »»

Although Piastri escaped any responsibility in the accident, his teammate having shown excess zeal, the officials accused him of having broken the regulations after the checkered flag. The FIA, the governing body of Formula 1, noted that Piastri was one of the seven pilots to have exceeded another car while the security procedure was still in force. The FIA ​​has sent official warnings to Piastri, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Kimi Antonelli, Esteban Ocon, Pierre Gasly and Lance Stroll.

The pilot exceeded the other cars after the checkered flag, but while the signals of the safety car were still displayed, following an accident on the straight/arrival line involving the car 4 (Lando Norris) and the car 81 (Plastri Oscar), “The FIA ​​said. »»

Although the pilots knew where the accident occurred, they had no way of knowing if help or commissioners had been dispatched to the track. It is therefore advisable to proceed with caution. We therefore send a warning to the pilot concerned, as well as to all the other competitors. Any new offense could lead to more severe sanctions.

Norris received a five -second penalty for causing the collision with Piastri, a largely useless penalty since he did not finish the race. Red Bull also protested against the actions of the winner, George Russell, believing that he had deliberately stopped against Max Verstappen during the security period. However, the FIA ​​rejected the complaint and Russell has kept the victory.

Plastri addressed journalists after the race when Norris approached him and apologized. Norris said later: “No one is to blame, except me. I apologize to the whole team and also to Oscar for trying an action probably a little too stupid. I’m happy not to have spoiled his race. I apologize to the team. What stupidity on my part. »»

Plastri finished fourth, ending a series of eight consecutive podiums which dates back to the second race of the season. But the abandonment of Norris offered him the opportunity to bring his advance inHead of the F1 pilots rankingFrom 10 to 22 points, putting the Australian under a strong pressure in his quest for the world title.

Russell has produced a brilliant polar race to be shot to beat Verstappen. Antonelli finished third – his first podium at 18 – to top an exceptional day for Mercedes.

Oscar Piastri reacts to the collision with Lando Norris

Plastri said after the race that he did not expect the Norris accident to change the dynamics in the team garage, McLaren disadvantage his two pilots. “Obviously, it is not ideal for anyone, but I have not seen the accident, so I don’t know exactly what happened,” said the Australian.

“But if Lando assumed full responsibility, then it’s over, I guess. A slightly difficult race overall, and not ideal. »»

Asked about his battle with Norris, who lasted more laps, Plastri said he thought he was right. “He made a beautiful maneuver in turn 10, blocked me at the Chicane, and the battle was tough, but until then,” he said.

Again, I haven’t seen the accident, but I don’t think there were bad intentions, I think it was really unfortunate. I’m going to take a look at it, of course, but we both fight for a world title and they are very grateful to the team that allowed us to run. I don’t think it will change anything. We will continue to run all year round.

Andrea Stella declares that McLaren will be investigating the collision between mushrooms

The director of the McLaren team, Andrea Stella, quickly reacted to the cerebral explosion of Norris: “We never want to see a McLaren involved in an accident and we certainly never want to see two McLaren touching each other,” Stella told Sky Sports.

This is a point that you must absolutely review, because it is a very clear principle. At the same time, it is a contact due to an error in judgment. Lando evaluated the distance from the car preceding it and there was therefore no attacker.

Lando, as an immediate owner, we assume responsibility, but this is certainly a point to discuss and review. Our principles are already in place, our pilots will have a lot to learn and we will resume competition. This is an error in judgment that is expensive in the championship. This is already expensive for the team, so it is certainly an accident that should not have occurred.
