Summary
Oscar Piastri receives a 10-second time penalty for colliding with Arvid Lindblad at Turn 2 during the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Explanation
The stewards determined that Piastri (Car 81) caused a collision with Lindblad (Car 41) at the entry to Turn 2. They found that Piastri was not fully alongside Lindblad at Turn 1 and therefore did not have the right to the corner. The collision could have been avoided if Piastri had moved further left after Turn 1. A 10-second time penalty was imposed.
