Red Bull team principal Christian Horner felt Oscar Piastri’s safety car penalty at the British Grand Prix proved George Russell should have been hit with a similar punishment last month in Canada.
Piastri was handed a 10-second time penalty after braking heavily behind the safety car while leading Sunday’s rain-affected race at Silverstone, leading to Max Verstappen momentarily passing the McLaren driver, who was then penalised by the stewards as team-mate Lando Norris came through to win his home grand prix.
