The McLaren F1 team principal was very happy about the 1-2 finish at Silverstone, but suggest that the penalty on Piastri was "harsh."

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.
