Oscar PlastriHe copied an official warning of the FIA ​​by anticipating the conditions of security cars 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 teammate Lando Norris ran on the back while trying to overcome.
Plastri was sitting in fourth with Norris just behind him, with only four remaining turns. But the disaster hit McLaren when the British pilot tried to take a gap there. Norris cut his teammate and then crashed with the wall, finishing his career while deploying a security car.
Norris immediately admitted the fault and said his actions were “stupid.” The British said on the radio of the team: “I’m sorry, everything is bad. All my fault. Unfortunately, I’m sorry, stupid by my part.”
Oscar plate trapped in the “prohibited” law after the checkered flag
While Piastri escaped the fault for the accident with his teammate too jealous, the officials led him to break the rules after the chess flag. The FIA, the government agency of Formula 1, discovered that Plastri was one of the seven drivers to overcome another car, while the security procedure was still in place. The FIA ​​has issued official warnings in Piasstri, 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 the security cars were still shown, after an accident at the start/straight finish that involves the 4 car (Lando Norris) and the 81 car (Plastri Oscar), ”said the FIA.”
“While drivers knew where the accident was, they could not have known if the emergency equipment or the marshal had been sent to the track and, therefore, we must proceed with caution. Therefore, we are warning the driver in question, along with all other competitors. Other violations can support higher sanctions.”
Norris copied a five -second penalty for causing collision with Piastri, a practically useless punishment considering that the race did not finish. Red Bull also launched a protest for the actions of the GEORGE RUSSELL race winner, believing that he deliberately reviewed Max Verstappen during the security period. But the FIA ​​rejected the protest and Russell maintained the victory.
Lando Norris issues public apologies for Oscar Plastri accident
Plastri was talking to journalists after the race when Norris approached and apologized. Later, Norris said: “No one who blames myself, except myself, sorry for the whole team and also for Oscar for trying something probably too dumb. I am happy not to have ruined his career, I apologize to the team. I touch my part.”
Plastri ended up finishing fourth, finishing a series of eight podiums of races that date back to the second race of the season. But Norris’s DNF saw the pleasures to extend its advantage inDriver Council F1From 10 points to 22, a great impulse for Australian while pursuing the world championship.
Russell has delivered a brilliant poare to the management of the most equitable flag to win from Verstappen. Antonelli ended in third place, winning his first podium at the age of 18, to complete a brilliant day for Mercedes.
Oscar Piastri reacts to the Norris Lando collision
Plastri declared after the race that he does not expect the accident with Norris to change the dynamics in the team’s garage, with McLaren, who let his two pilots stay short. “It is obviously not ideal for anyone, but I have not really seen the accident, so I don’t know what happened exactly,” Aussie said.
“But if Lando has assumed full responsibility, then it is so, I imagine. Just a small difficult career in general and not an ideal end.”
When asked about his battle with Norris, who lasted more laps, Plastri said he thought it was correct. “He made a rather large movement in curve 10, he kept mine in the cartoon, and it was certainly a difficult battle but until then,” he said.
“Once again, I have not seen the accident, but I do not think there has been bad intentions, I think it was really unfortunate. I will take a look, of course, but we are both fighting for a world championship and they are very grateful to the team that allows us to run. I do not hope that this changes anything in terms of this. We will continue running during the year.”
Andrea Stella says McLaren will examine the collision of teammates
The director of the McLaren team, Andrea Stella, hastened to her reaction to Norris’s brain explosion. “We never want to see a McLaren involved in an accident and we certainly never want to see the two McLarens who were played,” Stella told Sky Sports.
“It is something that we must surely check because this is a very clear principle. At the same time, it is a contact that happened due to an error of judgment. Lando has judged the distance from the car in front and, therefore, there was no bad.
“Lando of immediate property, assumed responsibility for this, but certainly something to discuss and review. Our principles are already in their place, our pilots will have something to learn more and we are going to run again. It is absolutely an error of judgment that costs a lot in the championship. It already costs for the team, therefore, certainly an accident that should not have happened.”
