Oscar PiastriHe copied an official warning from the FIA āāfor overtaking in safety car conditions after the checkered flag in the Canadian Grand Prix. The Australian pilot was involved in a wild moment at the end of Sunday’s race when McLaren Lando Norris’s teammate ran on the back while trying to overcome.
Plastri was sitting in fourth place with Norris right behind him, with only four remaining laps. But the disaster hit McLaren when the British pilot tried to take a gap there was not. Norris cut his teammate and then collided with the wall, ending his race while a security car was lined up.
Norris immediately admitted the fault and said his actions were “stupid”. The British said on the team’s radio: “I’m sorry, it’s all bad. All my fault. Unfortunately, sorry, stupid on my part.”
Oscar plate caught in the “forbidden” act after the checkered flag
While Piastri escaped all the fault for the accident with his teammate too zealous, the officials took him to break the rules after the chess flag. The Fia – the Formula 1 government body – discovered that Plastri was one of the seven drivers to overcome another car while the safety procedure was still in place. The FIA āāhas issued official warnings in Piastri, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Kimi Antonelli, Esteban Ocon, Pierre Gasly and Lance Stroll.
The driver exceeded other cars after the checkered flag, but while the signals of safety cars were still displayed, following an accident on the start/straight finish involving the car 4 (Lando Norris) and the car 81 (Plastri Oscar), “The FIA āāsaid.”
“While the drivers were aware of where the accident was, they could not have known if the emergency equipment or the marshals had been sent to the track, and therefore we must proceed with caution. We are therefore warning the driver concerned, together with all the other competitors. Further violations can support higher sanctions.”
Norris copied a five -second penalty for causing the collision with piastri, a practically useless punishment considering that he did not finish the race. Red Bull also launched a protest on the actions of the winner of the race George Russell, believing that he deliberately checked Max Verstappen during the safety period. But the FIA āārejected the protest and Russell kept the victory.
Lando Norris emits public apologies on Oscar Plastri’s accident
Plastri was talking to the journalists after the race when Norris approached and apologized. Norris later said: “Nobody to blame myself except myself, I apologize for the entire team and also for Oscar for trying something probably a little too foolish. I am happy not to have ruined his race, I apologize to the team. Silly on my part.”
Plastri ended up to finish fourth, ending a series of eight -races podiums dating back to the second race of the season. But Norris’ DNF saw the pleasures to extend his advantage inF1 driver tipFrom 10 points to 22 – A large push for Aussie while chasing the World Championship.

Oscar Piastri reacts to the collision of Lando Norris
Plastri declared after the race that he does not expect the accident with Norris to change the dynamics in the team garage, with McLaren who let their two pilots take short. “Obviously it is not ideal for anyone, but in reality I have not seen the accident, so I don’t know what exactly happened,” said Aussie.
“But if Lando has assumed full responsibility, then it is so, I imagine. Just a little a difficult race in general and not an ideal ending.”
When he was asked about his battle with Norris, who lasted more laps, Plastri said he thought it was right. “He made a rather large move in turn 10, he held mine in the chicane, and it was certainly a tough battle but until then,” he said.
“Once again, I have not seen the accident, but I don’t think there have been bad intentions, I think it was really unfortunate. I go to take a look of course, but we are both fighting for a world championship and they are very grateful to the team that allow us to run. I don’t expect this that this will change anything in terms of this. We will continue to run during the year.”
Andrea Stella says that McLaren will examine the collision of teammates
The principal of the McLaren team, Andrea Stella, hurried to his reaction to Norris’ cerebral explosion. “We never want to see a McLaren involved in an accident and we certainly never want to see the two McLarens who touched each other,” Stella said to Sky Sports.
“It is something that we must surely review because this is a very clear principle. At the same time it is a contact that happened due to a judgment error. Lando has judged the distance from the car in front and therefore there was no attacker.
“Lando of immediate ownership, we have assumed the responsibility of this, but certainly something to be discussed and reviewed. Our principles are already in place, our pilots will have something to learn further and we go again to run. It is absolutely a judgment error that costs a lot in the championship. It already costs for the team, therefore certainly an accident that should not have happened.”
