Andrea Stella explained why McLaren did not swap their drivers' positions after Oscar Piastri took a 10-second penalty at Silverstone.

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 two incidents were very similar. In Canada, Russell braked and Max Verstappen passed him. At Silverstone, Piastri did the same with the same result. In Canada, the stewards took no action, and rejected a post-race protest from Red Bull. At Silverstone, Piastri lost the win as a consequence of a 10-second penalty.
