Oscar Piastri's Formula 1 championship lead shrank at the British Grand Prix on Sunday (local time), with a time penalty costing him victory. The Australian found himself in the lead at a wet Silverstone when a safety car was called. Upon the race restart, he slowed down, which saw Max Verstappen, who was sitting behind, take evasive action.
