Oscar Piastri: Runner-up Finish at Silverstone

Piastri finished second in the British Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Silverstone Circuit on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Piastri would follow Max Verstappen from the lights out to lap 7 when the slippery conditions would open an overtake opportunity for the McLaren star. He would lead from lap 8 onward and through the heavy rain that came at lap 11. Piastri was in complete control until a restart from the virtual safety car on lap 20. The young driver would nearly come to a stop and bring the ire of the stewards. Piastri would be hit with a 10-second penalty for a safety car infraction. He would serve that on the lap 43 pit stop and give up the lead to Lando Norris. Piastri would ride in P2 from there and collect the runner-up finish at the checkered flag.
