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

Oscar Piastri's Formula 1 championship lead shrank at the British Grand Prix on Sunday (local time), with a time penalty costing him victory. The Australian found himself in the lead at a wet Silverstone when a safety car was called. Upon the race restart, he slowed down, which saw Max Verstappen, who was sitting behind, take evasive action.

A plethora of British racing stars were hoping to impress their home crowds, including Russell, Norris and Oliver Bearman in F1, while British racing legend Lewis Hamilton was aiming for an unprecedented 10th race victory at the British GP.
