Dez segundos, e o fim de semana do Grande Prêmio do México de Oscar Piastri terminou sem nenhum ponto. O piloto da McLaren foi penalizado pela colisão com Arvid Lindblad no Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, com os comissários entendendo que ele nunca esteve totalmente ao lado e poderia ter evitado o contato.
Foi o desfecho de um fim de semana ruim: a sequência de 60 aparições consecutivas no Q3 do australiano, incluindo sprints, terminou quando ele se classificou apenas em 12º. Recuperou três posições na largada e passou Franco Colapinto e Lindblad para chegar ao sétimo lugar. Quando Valtteri Bottas bateu, Piastri tinha 13 segundos de vantagem sobre o novato — mas o safety car e uma relargada parada zeraram essa margem, e Lindblad passou na largada.
Piastri perseguiu por 12 voltas antes de tentar o lado de fora na curva 1; ao se deslocar para dentro na curva 2, freou tarde e sua roda dianteira direita acertou a traseira esquerda da Racing Bulls, jogando Lindblad no muro.
“Na verdade eu tentei entrar por dentro, e então ele fechou a porta muito, muito tarde”, disse Piastri. Os comissários viram diferente: “O carro 81 nunca esteve totalmente ao lado do carro 41, portanto não poderia reivindicar o direito à curva.” Lindblad disse apenas que estava “comprometido em brigar pela posição”.
A punição tirou Piastri dos pontos, depois de ele ter levado um carro danificado até a bandeirada.
