Overview

• FIA stewards fined McLaren €5,000 and issued no sporting penalty to Oscar Piastri after reviewing the Dutch Grand Prix practice incident.
• The decision document detailed that Piastri was waved around a blocked pit box, briefly re-entered the fast lane ahead of George Russell, and then turned into his pit, forcing Russell to take evasive action.
• Officials noted the sequence could have caused a collision and injury to pit-lane staff, with McLaren acknowledging it failed to manage the pit entry properly.
• George Russell said the moment “scared” him and indicated he was not pressing for a penalty against Piastri.
• Lando Norris topped all three practice sessions at Zandvoort with Piastri close behind, sharpening a nine-point intra-team title fight after a stop-start Friday with multiple red flags.
