The lead car can dictate the pace of the restart, but Piastri was pinged by race stewards for "suddenly" braking. He received a 10-second time penalty, which he served during a pitstop. As a result, McLaren teammate Lando Norris took the race lead and went on to claim victory in his home Grand Prix.

The FIA have confirmed a 60-place grid penalty ruling for F1 and Alpine star Franco Colapinto after a series of changes were made for the British Grand Prix. Colapinto was a man under pressure during qualifying at Silverstone, where he spun and crashed into the barriers in Q1, unable to return his car to the pits and instead caused a red flag.
