For obstruction
Harsh penalty! Piastri loses second place in Imola
Tough penalty for Oscar Piastri! The McLaren driver has to drop back three places on the grid due to an "unnecessary obstruction" during qualifying for the Grand Prix in Imola.
"It's so difficult to put in a perfect lap here," said Piastri, who will now start from fifth place in the first European race of the year. The Australian had held up Haas driver Kevin Magnussen during a fast lap. An "unnecessary obstruction", according to the rule makers in Imola.
This means that McLaren team-mate Lando Norris will start from the front row on Sunday alongside Max Verstappen, followed by the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, who together occupy row two.
Miami winner Norris is expecting an exciting Grand Prix on a track that only has one DRS zone and where overtaking maneuvers are difficult.
