Stewards pass judgment on Piastri: This has been decided!

Oscar Piastri is due to report to the stewards at 20:00 local time. The Australian allegedly obstructed Pierre Gasly and could potentially receive a grid penalty for doing so.

The Australian had a very good session in qualifying. In the third free practice, the rookie was already third behind teammate Lando Norris, and in qualifying too, the McLaren driver put his car on P3 behind Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc.

After qualifying, the FIA released the news that Piastri will have to report to the stewards. Gasly had to get off the gas through the fast Turn 4 as the slow-moving Australian's McLaren got in the way. So whether Piastri's time and third starting spot will stand remains to be seen.
