Oscar Piastri angers F1 stewards as McLaren star ignores Australian GP instruction

Oscar Piastri left the stewards unimpressed as he failed to follow clear instructions laid out by the race director at the Australian Grand Prix.

The 21-year-old is racing at Albert Park for the first time in Formula 1 and is the home hero in the absence of Daniel Ricciardo from the grid. He will be desperate to score his first points for McLaren in front of his home crowd.

To have the best chance of doing that, Piastri would be best served by staying in the FIA stewards' good books. So it does not bode well that he has already been closely scrutinised by them after the third and final practice session of the weekend on Saturday morning.
