Did Piastri deserve his penalty in Sao Paulo?

Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer has weighed in on the controversial Turn 1 incident during the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, where Oscar Piastri received a 10-second penalty and Charles Leclerc was eliminated. Palmer argues that Piastri was unfairly penalized, describing the contact as a "racing incident" despite the stewards' rigid adherence to guidelines. The incident unfolded on Lap 5 following a Safety Car restart, as Andrea Kimi Antonelli experienced wheel spin, creating an opportunity for both Piastri and Leclerc. Piastri opted for the inside line, while Leclerc went to the outside, leading to the collision. Palmer believes the penalty was harsh given the dynamic racing circumstances.
