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.

Oscar Piastri was sensationally denied victory at a wet and wild British Grand Prix after Formula One race stewards controversially penalised the Australian for a dangerous restart that gifted the win to his championship rival Lando Norris.

The sight of Lewis Hamilton, his tires kicking up a tail of spray as he sped through the rain toward victory at the British Grand Prix in 2008, stayed with the 8-year-old Norris, who was watching on TV. On Sunday, Norris got his own win in a thrilling wet British GP — also involving Hamilton — in front of the British crowd.
