During and after the British Grand Prix, the stewards reviewed several incidents, including one involving Yuki Tsunoda. But who else was handed penalties following the race at Silverstone?
Tsunoda received a ten-second penalty during the race after colliding with the left rear wheel of Oliver Bearman, causing the latter to spin. The stewards didn’t stop there—Tsunoda also picked up a penalty point, bringing his total to five. Once a driver hits twelve penalty points, they face a suspension for the next race.

Tsunoda and Piastri receive penalties

In addition to his incident with Tsunoda, Bearman was also involved in a separate clash with teammate Esteban Ocon. At the same corner where he made contact with the Japanese driver, Bearman touched the left rear wheel of the other Haas driver.
However, the stewards decided not to issue a penalty for this incident. Both drivers were reminded that they could have handled the situation differently, but no single party was held solely responsible.
After the race, the stewards reviewed the collision between Isack Hadjar and Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Both drivers retired after Hadjar rear-ended Antonelli in the rain. They agreed that no action was necessary as the heavy rain was to blame, and the stewards concurred—no penalties were given.
Oscar Piastri also received a ten-second penalty during the race, similar to Tsunoda. But the stewards didn’t stop there: Piastri was handed two penalty points, bringing his total to six.
