Oscar Piastri surprised everyone with a question that no other pilot had ever asked during the Grand Prix of Great Britain.
An exciting and exciting Grand Prix of Great Britain saw the star of McLaren, Lando Norris, to get his first victory at home ahead of his teammates Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg, by Kick Sauber, who finally ended his long streak as the F1 pilot with more races without climbing the podium.
After advancing the Poleman Max Verstappen, Piastri consolidated himself as the favorite to win at the beginning of the race, but his hopes vanished after receiving a controversial penalty of 10 seconds.
The Australian was tried for having reduced the speed too drastically after the security car was unmarked in Tour 21, which almost caused a collision with Verstappen.
This penalty ended Piastri’s possibilities to win the race, and made clear his opinion about speaking on the radio of the team to ask a question that no pilot had asked before.
Immediately after confirming the sanction, McLaren made it clear that he considered her unfair and that Piastri had been discarded for no reason.
So Piastri, highlighting the lantern of his team, decided to call on radio to ask him to give Norris an order, telling him to let his partner pass to rectify the unfair sanction.
Of course, McLaren ruled out this idea, but analyst Peter Windsor believes that such a question by Piastri deserves praise, since he was willing to ask a question that no other pilot would dare.
In his YouTube channel, Windsor commented: “Oscar spoke on Radio and, surprisingly and I think that with great intelligence, he said that the whole issue of the security car was ridiculous. We should appeal, invest the positions and run to the goal.
I do not remember that any pilot has said that, and we must recognize his lateral thinking. He was the fastest pilot of the weekend with McLaren and is super aggressive by radio about something like that. Of course, if they had not decided to fulfill that penalty of 10 seconds at Oscar’s stop and would have waited until the end of the race. ”
What did Piastri say about penalty?
Talking to Jenson Button in Sky Sports just after the race, Piastri was clearly frustrated for having lost victory due to penalty.
“Yes, I’m not going to say much. I’m going to get into trouble, so … well done, Hulkenberg!” “I think that is the culminating moment of the day, so … yes, I leave it there,” Piastri said, clearly containing his true feelings.
“Yes, that is, it seems that it can no longer stop behind the security car. That is, I did it for five laps before that and … I repeat, I will not say much because I will get into trouble.
“But thanks to the public for a great event. Thank you for enduring despite the bad weather. I still like Silverstone, although I do not like today, so thanks for coming.”
