Sprint Qualifying almost began with a great crash. As Oscar Piastri was entering Turn 1 on a flying lap, and Valtteri Bottas was late to get out of his way. Fortunately, both could avoid contact thanks to their reflexes, but a penalty could await the Finnish driver, or at least his team.
Oscar Piastri was not happy with the Stake F1 driver. "If that's not a penalty then, I don't know what is," the Australian commented over his team radio.
Bottas, however, believes he had no idea that Piastri was coming and did not have time to act quicker. "****, that's too late man. I had no idea," Bottas reported back to his team.
