Oscar Piastri's verdict on the stewards clearing Charles Leclerc for their Lap 1 contact: "I'm not saying it needed to be a penalty necessarily, but at least a black and white flag." He isn't disputing the physics, he's disputing the message it sends: "the incentive of knowing that you can leave everyone the absolute bare minimum space and get away with it, that's not the nicest place to be." Asked what he'd missed after the contact, Piastri didn't miss a beat: "a few parts of my car, after the contact with Charles." No penalty, no warning. Just a driver quietly furious and letting the sarcasm do the talking. 📸📰 via stewards' report, team radio #F1 #Piastri #Leclerc #BelgianGP
