Oscar Piastri's qualifying session took a dramatic turn as he was handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Liam Lawson during Q2. The decision reshuffles the starting order and hands a golden opportunity to Ferrari.
The incident occurred when Oscar Piastri entered the first turn on his out-lap, catching Lawson off guard as the latter approached at full speed. The stewards deemed it an unnecessary block, triggering the penalty.
Ferrari's Lucky Break at the Front
With Piastri dropping to sixth, both Ferraris gain a spot. Charles Leclerc will now start third, alongside teammate Lewis Hamilton in fourth, lining up directly behind Pierre Gasly and George Russell.
A Start Full of Intrigue
Max Verstappen also benefits, moving up to fifth on the third row. The stage is set for a thrilling opening lap, with two Ferraris breathing down the necks of the leaders.
