Overview

• Stewards found Oliver Bearman caused contact with Carlos Sainz at Turn 4 and issued a 10‑second penalty plus two Superlicence points.
• Bearman now holds 10 Superlicence points, two short of an automatic one‑race ban through the next rounds in Azerbaijan, Singapore, Austin and Mexico, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli sits on six.
• McLaren’s pit crew mis-tightened a wheel nut on Lando Norris’s stop, releasing him behind Oscar Piastri and effectively triggering an unintended undercut.
• The team then requested a position swap that Piastri accepted, a move aligned with McLaren’s stated race values that drew criticism from fans and commentators.
• Aston Martin opened an investigation after Fernando Alonso’s car suffered an unusual suspension collapse, with Mike Krack noting new failure modes on current cars and confirming the part had low mileage.
