Oscar Piastri Faces Investigation After Azerbaijan GP Practice Incident

Oscar Piastri has been summoned to the stewards after an apparent infringement during Free Practice two at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Two weeks ago, Piastri was left disappointed at the Italian Grand Prix after being told to give up second place to McLaren teammate Lando Norris.

As a result, the Australian's lead at the top of the Formula 1 standings was cut to 31 points with eight races left in the 2025 season.

On Friday, the 20 best drivers in the world were back on the track ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.

It was then revealed that Piastri is under investigation after an alleged incident during Free Practice Two.

The McLaren driver has been summoned to the stewards for potentially failing to slow for yellow flags.

Piastri is due to meet with the stewards at 5:40pm local time.

According to Race Fans, Piastri's onboard camera showed that as he approached Turn One, yellow flags were displayed after Pierre Gasly had run wide.

Back in the Dutch Grand Prix, Ferrari star Lewis Hamilton was penalised for failing to slow down for yellow flags during a reconnaissance lap.

As a result, the Brit was handed a five-place grid penalty for the Italian Grand Prix.

During the session, Piastri also hit the wall at Turn 15, but was able to continue.

In the end, Piastri finished in 12th place, with Hamilton top ahead of Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc and Mercedes star George Russell.

Speaking after the session, Piastri said: "A bit tricky yeah, just up and down. I think the pace is there but it's just not the easiest to get the most out of it at the moment.

"It's a little bit tricky, I'm sure we'll look back and see what we can change for tomorrow. Still, there are a lot of positives from today, but it's just a few tricky moments."
