Oscar Piastri discovers FIA investigation verdict after practice mistake

Oscar Piastri has not been punished by the stewards at the Italian Grand Prix after he was investigated for entering the fast lane in the pits too soon. The McLaren driver was given a reprimand for the incident. Following Kimi Antonelli's red flag stoppage, the Australian appeared to do so before the restart of the session had been confirmed, something that is directly at odds with the race director's event notes. The Mercedes driver and team-mate George Russell were found guilty of the same indiscretion during qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix, both earning one-place grid penalties. Gabriel Bortoleto avoided being penalised for his yellow flag infringement after the stewards deemed the 20-year-old did not have sufficient time to react prior to overtaking Liam Lawson's Racing Bulls machine. The officials added that the Stake driver's view of the yellow flag was also obstructed by the New Zealander, concluding: "The Stewards decide that, although technically a breach of the regulations occurred, no penalty needs to be applied."
