Oscar Piastri has been handed a three-place grid penalty for the Italian Grand Prix after impeding Liam Lawson during qualifying at Monza. The penalty drops the McLaren driver from third to sixth on the grid for Sunday's race, promoting Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen by one position each.
The incident occurred in the dying moments of Q2, as Lawson - competing in his second Red Bull race of the year as a replacement for the injured Isack Hadjar - was on his final flying lap.
