The Silverstone stewards hit Oscar Piastri with a penalty which was "extreme to say the least", according to Jolyon Palmer.

The timing of the F1 safety car call and the temperatures on track led McLaren’s Andrea Stella to brand Oscar Piastri’s 10-second penalty as “very harsh”

The lead car can dictate the pace of the restart, but Piastri was pinged by race stewards for "suddenly" braking. He received a 10-second time penalty, which he served during a pitstop. As a result, McLaren teammate Lando Norris took the race lead and went on to claim victory in his home Grand Prix.
