Oscar Piastri said he was \u201cnot even going to bother trying to compute\u201d how Liam Lawson escaped a penalty in the opening lap of the Las Vegas GP.<\/p>\n
Piastri was handed what many felt was a harsh penalty at the previous race in Brazil but a similar incident in Vegas went unpunished.<\/p>\n
Oscar Piastri reveals FIA meeting over driver guidelines<\/p>\n
A chaotic start to the night race in Nevada saw Lawson crash into the side of Piastri as the drivers headed into Turn 1, but the Racing Bulls driver escaped a penalty. Instead, it was judged to be a racing incident.<\/p>\n
But Piastri, who had a similar incident in Sao Paulo when he hit Kimi Antonelli, who then hit Charles Leclerc, suggested rules were being applied inconsistently.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not even going to bother trying to compute it,\u201d he said after the race in Vegas. \u201cIt is what it is.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a meeting with the stewards next week to kind of give our feedback. The guidelines kind of came in place from the drivers, and I think for the large majority of incidents, has been very helpful.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut clearly there\u2019s some tweaking that needs to be done, because I think potentially people are gaming the rules a little bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been a few incidents that I don\u2019t think are really what we want to see in racing. So I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll discuss it next week and be better as a sport, moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
