Piastri Penalised, Norris Wins Chaotic British GP

Oscar Piastri was denied a potential victory at the British Grand Prix after receiving a 10-second penalty for abrupt braking behind the safety car, forcing Max Verstappen to take evasive action; McLaren's appeal of the penalty was unsuccessful. The penalty allowed teammate Lando Norris to win and narrowed Piastri's lead in the Drivers' Championship to eight points. Piastri insisted his actions did not merit punishment but congratulated Norris and Nico Hülkenberg, who achieved his first podium in 239 starts. Verstappen spun after the safety car incident and finished fifth. The rain-affected race featured multiple incidents, and Piastri opted to forego McLaren's new front suspension upgrade in favor of consistency. The championship battle has tightened, with Piastri determined to recover in future races.
