Piastri learns FIA verdict after post-race Austrian GP investigation

The McLaren driver had been accused of a potential breach of Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code, as well as failing to comply with the Race Director's Event Notes. He was subsequently summoned to appear before the stewards at 17:10 local time to explain his version of events.

After hearing from the driver and a McLaren representative, and reviewing the available video, timing and onboard footage, the stewards concluded that the Australian had remained comfortably within the required delta time during the reconnaissance laps. As a result, the investigation was closed with no further action taken.

The Australian did finish ahead of his teammate and reigning world champion Lando Norris, crossing the line in fourth place. However, it was still an underwhelming weekend for McLaren, which was never in contention for the podium as Mercedes and Red Bull battled it out for victory.
