Penalty Drops Oscar Piastri Out of Points at Mexico GP

Oscar Piastri faced a challenging weekend at the Mexico Grand Prix, culminating in a penalty that cost him valuable points.

The McLaren driver’s impressive streak of 60 consecutive Q3 appearances, including sprint sessions, came to an end as he qualified 12th at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Starting from this position, Piastri managed to gain three places during the race.

However, a collision with Arvid Lindblad led to a post-race penalty, ultimately dropping him out of the points.

This result marks a rare setback in Piastri’s otherwise consistent rookie season, highlighting the difficulties of navigating the competitive midfield pack.
