McLaren woes deepen as British F1 star slapped with MAXIMUM punishment

McLaren woes deepen as British F1 star slapped with MAXIMUM punishment

Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, McLaren, British GP, Britain, 2025

McLaren F1 star Oscar Piastri was slammed with two additional penalty points at the British Grand Prix, whilst British star Ollie Bearman was given the maximum available after an incident in FP3 last weekend.

The Australian driver was in control of the race at Silverstone, before he was given a 10-second time penalty for erratically braking on the safety car restart.

Piastri's safety car infringement also meant that a further two penalty points were added to his FIA super licence, taking his total up to six.

On Saturday at Silverstone, British star Bearman was also involved in a costly incident during FP3 where he crashed into the barriers in the pitlane.

Bearman was punished for failing to comply with a red flag and alongside his 10-place grid drop was also given the maximum amount of penalty points a driver can receive - four.

Here's how the penalty points table looks for 2025 after the latest incidents at the British GP last weekend.
