Lando Norris received a penalty for failing to heed yellow flags related to a wing mirror lost by Alex Albon’s car. The debris, which was on the track for three laps, caused multiple punctures and prompted the safety car’s deployment after Valtteri Bottas hit it. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri criticized the decision to not use a safety car immediately, while FIA representatives defended their actions. Team principals expressed concerns over the penalty’s fairness and the application of safety rules in Formula 1.
