Oscar Piastri accepts Arvid Lindblad clash penalty; guidelines 'tricky' to enforce at Mexico opening corners

Oscar Piastri accepted his Mexico City Grand Prix penalty for colliding with Arvid Lindblad on the basis of the Formula 1 driving standards guidelines - but suggested that those guidelines might need tweaking for corners like the Mexican opening complex.

The Australian hung his McLaren around the outside of Lindblad into Turn 1, with the intent of gaining the inside line for the immediate approach of Turn 2. Both drivers held their lines, which led to Lindblad's rear-left wheel making contact with Piastri's front right; this sprung the Racing Bulls into the air, into the exit wall and out of the race.
