VIDEO – Chaos at Silverstone! Verstappen Spins to P10 After Controversial Pass on Piastri—A 10-Second Penalty Follows the Aussie

British GP erupts in controversy as Piastri slows under Safety Car, Verstappen pounces—and pays the price

SILVERSTONE, UK — The British Grand Prix exploded into utter chaos on Sunday as Max Verstappen passed Oscar Piastri under a Safety Car restart—just moments before both drivers’ races unraveled in dramatic fashion.

In a moment that stunned fans and rattled the pit wall, Piastri significantly backed off the pace just before the restart. Verstappen, with razor-sharp reflexes, darted past the McLaren—only for Piastri to spin out spectacularly seconds later, dropping out of contention entirely.

Stewards immediately launched an investigation, and the verdict was swift: a 10-second time penalty for Piastri for erratic driving under Safety Car conditions.

But the drama didn’t stop there.

🔥Os explico bien la situación.

Just as Verstappen looked poised to capitalize, the Red Bull star suffered a spin of his own, sending him tumbling down the order to P10. It was a shocking twist for the race leader, and one that could have huge implications for the championship.

“We had the pace, but then everything turned upside down in two laps,” Verstappen said on team radio, clearly stunned. “Not sure what just happened.”

Questions Fly After Safety Car Mayhem

Replay footage showed Piastri slowing significantly, possibly in an attempt to manage tire temperature or create a restart gap—actions that have now cost him dearly. Verstappen’s move past him, though technically legal at the time due to restart rules, came just milliseconds before the McLaren lost control.

“We’ll need to review it,” said McLaren team principal Andrea Stella. “Oscar wasn’t trying to play games. But the penalty stings.”

Championship Implications?

With Verstappen down in 10th and both McLaren cars now out of podium contention, the door is wide open for a new face to steal Silverstone glory. Meanwhile, questions will swirl over restart etiquette, Safety Car protocol, and the psychological pressure gripping the grid.

From pole to pandemonium in a matter of minutes, Silverstone just delivered one of the most dramatic chapters of the 2025 season.

Stay tuned for more updates as the British Grand Prix enters its wildest final laps yet.
