It got a bit spicy between the teammates with Norris taking a lunge around the outside of Piastri and finding the wall. Norris took responsibility for the incident, telling team radio: 'I'm sorry, it's all my bad. All my fault. Unlucky, sorry, stupid from me'.

F1 world turns on Piastri as ‘angry side' exposed for first time
Don't miss out on the headlines from F1. Followed categories will be added to My News. Formula 1 icon Martin Brundle says fans are seeing the 'angry side' of Aussie Oscar Piastri for the first time. There are some motorsport figures and countless social media users who can't handle it. The McLaren driver has come under fire for his behaviour following the British Grand Prix where a 10-second penalty cost him a race win. As McLaren teammate Lando Norris charged to win his home race at Silverstone, Piastri made a desperate request for his team to order Norris to switch positions. His request was centred around messages from his team that they also believed FIA stewards were wrong to penalise the Melburnian for an unsafe re-start when a safety car pulled into the pits on Lap 22. The 24-year-old's sudden braking forced Max Verstappen to take evasive action. Piastri was visibly frustrated with how the race had unfolded and let his emotions show in his first interviews in parc ferme. Fox Sports, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every practice, qualifying session and race in the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship™ LIVE in 4K. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. He said he did not want to say much about the penalty because he was going to 'get himself in trouble'. It was on team radio when first informed his request had been denied that he was at his most aggrieved, saying: 'I think I'll get myself banned for the year if I say anything here'. Brundle has now written in his column Piastri's bold request was 'more than cheeky'. 'It seems the Drivers' Championship showdown will indeed be between Piastri and Norris, and we can expect some fireworks there. Watch the moment Oscar Piastri was penalised for in the video above Oscar Piastri congratulates Lando Norris on the win. (Photo by) 'That's the first time we've seen the angry side of the calm silent Aussie assassin. 'Oscar's radio call for the places to be swapped if the team thought he'd received an unfair penalty was more than cheeky, though.' F1 analyst Peter Windsor also said Piastri's team order request was something he hadn't seen before. 'Oscar got on the radio and quite surprisingly and I think quite intelligently said that whole thing with the safety car was ridiculous, we should be basically appealing that, we should reverse positions now on that basis and then race to the finish,' he said on YouTube. 'Which I can't remember any driver ever saying that and you've got to give him full marks for thinking laterally there and he was the quicker driver over the weekend for McLaren and there he is being super aggressive on the radio about something like that and of course had they not decided to serve that 10-second penalty in Oscar's pit stop and waited till the end of the race.'

F1 journalist James Elson also understood Piastri's anger because the former Alpine driver had been the superior driver in the McLaren garage all weekend. 'Aside from that misdemeanour, Piastri bossed most of the race,' Elson wrote in 'Once dispensing with Max Verstappen early on, the Australian kept Norris at arm's length throughout – the Brit was never in the same league as his McLaren colleague.' He went on to write: 'Piastri was full of rage after being demoted to second in a British GP he felt should have rightfully been his. 'When it was put to him by Sky that he had driven brilliantly, he simply replied: 'Yep, I know,' through a strained smile. 'If he's that good when he's chilled out, what'll be like when he's angry? We can't wait to see.' One video of Piastri's first reaction posted on X by a Piastri fan account has more than 70,000 views with the account posting: 'OMG I don't think I have ever seen him this angry'. Those interactions have allowed some sections of the Formula 1 word to paint a picture of Piastri being a sore loser. There have also been wild suggestions Piastri was out of line when jokingly asking Nico Hulkenberg what he thought about the first podium trophy of his career being made out of Lego because of a commercial relationship between the British Grand Prix and building block goliath. Social media users, many of them Norris supporters, have shared harsh messages on X, accusing Piastri of poor sportsmanship by failing to celebrate his teammate's win. Piastri, did however, congratulate his teammate on the win and said after the race it would not have been 'fair' for the team to ask Norris to let him pass. The way it played out has put a fire in his belly. 'I thought I would ask the question,' Piastri said. 'I knew what the answer was going to be before I asked, but I just wanted a small glimmer of hope that maybe I could get it back. But no, I knew it wasn't going to happen. 'I don't think there was anything wrong with it. Lando didn't do anything wrong. 'I don't think it would have been particularly fair to have swapped, but I thought I would at least ask. 'It doesn't change much for the championship. I feel like I did a good job today. I feel I did what I needed to. That's all I need. I will use the frustration to make sure I win some more races later.' Norris now has eight career wins, one more than Piastri, and with the McLaren drivers separated by just eight points in the standings, the championship is set to go down to the wire over the second half of the season.

11 Best Formula 1 Movies To Watch After Checking Out ‘F1: The Movie'
You've seen Brad Pitt's latest triumph – the surprisingly-good love letter to the race track, F1: The Movie – and you've decided you want more. Or maybe you've watched everything Drive to Survive has to offer, and your thirst has not been sated. I have good news: you've come to the right place, because not only do we have a list of incredible F1 documentaries and biopics for you to dive into, you're going to understand the history of the sport far better at the end of this binge. Here, we've pulled together 11 high-octane films to showcase the best of the best: from the founding of track favourite Ferrari, to deep dives into some of the most famous moments in the sport's history. We've got a need for speed, so lets cut to the chase: here's the 11 Best Formula 1 Movies to Watch. The Best Formula 1 Movies 1. Senna Release Date: October 8, 2010 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 46m IMDb Rating: 8.5 Director: Asif Kapadia Telling the story of one of the greats of the game, Senna follows the life and 10-year career of Brazilian world champion Ayrton Senna. During his decade on the track, Senna won the world championship three times, fostered a heated rivalry with France's Alain Prost, and made waves in the sport due to his outspoken frustrations with the mechanisms of the Formula 1 racing league. Senna tragically died on the track in what has become known as one of the bleakest races in F1 history, after a mechanical failure led his car to hit a concrete barrier while he was leading the 2004 San Marino Grand Prix. It's an awful story, but one that led to significant safety revisions in the sport which has made it far safer for every racer that trailed in his wake. The film is entirely made up of archival footage, with no interviews or talking heads: instead, you're simply seeing the reality of what happened through Senna's career, as well as footage of the man himself talking through his thought process and approach to racing. 2. Truth in 24 Release Date: October 25, 2008 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 35m IMDb Rating: 8.1 Director: Keith Crossrow, Bennett Viseltear Narrated by The Transporter himself Jason Stratham, Truth in 24 chronicles Audi Sport's efforts to take its fifth W at famous endurance race '24 Hours of Le Mans' in 2008 – a race in which victory is assumed by driving the longest distance in a single car during a 24-hour period. The film follows Audi racers Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Dindo Capello as they prepare for the race, as well as their time in the drivers seat. Each driver takes charge of the car for over two hours before swapping out to a teammate, meaning the trio behind the wheel need to be in perfect sync to avoid any delay getting the vehicle back on the track. You'd think a film about a hot, sweaty endurance race would be a slog, but it's actually an incredibly interesting and poignant look at the lives of the men on the track, as well as the sheer hell they regularly put their bodies through. 3. Rush Release Date: September 13, 2013 Genre: Docudrama Runtime: 2h 3m IMDb Rating: 8.1 Director: Ron Howard Focusing on star drivers James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl), Rush is a mile-a-minute dramatisation of one of the sports' most heated on-track rivalries. The pair operated throughout the 70's, and were championed as two of the most impressive drivers on the track: if not one another's complete opposite. The deeply focused Lauda, racing for Ferrari, and the brash and confident Hunt, racing for McLaren, dominate the screen, and Rush delivers a very human tale in what can sometimes be a very mechanical sport. Hemsworth and Brühl are incredible in their respective roles, and obviously the racing is stellar. If you're after something closely mirroring the recent F1 film, but a bit more grounded in reality (it's still dramatised, after all), Rush is it. If you want a more accurate historical retelling of the relationship between the pair of drivers, check out number seven on the list. 4. Williams Release Date: August 4, 2017 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 49m IMDb Rating: 7.6 Director: Morgan Matthews Williams Racing has been an integral part of the F1 grid for decades, and Williams charts the beginning of its story. The film follows the rise of Williams' founder and namesake, Frank Williams, as he builds the team around himself before, tragically, a near-fatal crash leaves him wheelchair bound. Rather than collapse, the Williams family rallies around Frank and cements the team as a force to be reckoned with. Using a mix of archival footage—in some cases never before seen—and interviews with key players in the Williams story, Williams shows a candid and honest portrait of the namesake family's guts, tenacity, and sheer willpower. It's inspiring in all the right ways. 5. Weekend of a Champion Release Date: December 18, 2013 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 33m IMDb Rating: 7.5 Director: Frank Simon A re-edited version of the 1972 original (which was never publicly released save for a brief theatrical release in Europe), Weekend of a Champion follows controversial filmmaker Roman Polanski as he spends a weekend with world champion racer Jackie Stewart. Not just any weekend, though: the weekend of the 1971 Monaco Grand Prix. What emerges is a touching, incredibly rare look behind the scenes of one of the biggest races in the world—especially at a time before the sport opened up its doors to the likes of Netflix's Drive to Survive. While the original was already captivating, the 2013 version adds a post-script conversation between Polanski and Stewart filmed in 2011, wherein the pair discuss the original film, as well as the work Stewart went to do in the sport to further the safety of other drivers. 6. 1: Life on the Limit Release Date: January 10, 2014 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 52m IMDb Rating: 7.9 Director: Paul Crowder While most F1-related films feature warnings around the danger of the sport, 1: Life on the Limit goes all in on highlighting the drivers that lost their lives throughout the sport's nascent growth period, and the men that took pains to make F1 a far safer sport. Narrated by Michael Fassbender, 1 charts the path from the 60's through to the present day as rapid changes within the sport lead to faster and faster cars and, as can be expected, a rising number of on-track fatalities. You'd think every driver would want things to be as safe as possible, but there's a surprising amount of pushback from many of the men behind-the-wheel as new safety initiatives are brought in. It all amounts to a fascinating watch—one that hyper focuses on one aspect of the sport that is both incredibly important and largely unseen. 7. Hunt vs. Lauda: F1's Greatest Racing Rivals Release Date: July 14, 2013 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 59m IMDb Rating: 7.8 Director: Matthew Whiteman A TV Movie documenting the on-track rivalry between Niki Lauda and James Hunt, Hunt vs Lauda takes a decidedly more archival approach to the story when compared to the dramatised Rush. Using a mix of on-the-track footage and new interviews, Hunt vs Lauda tracks the events of the 1976 F1 Championship: a season more intense than most, with Lauda suffering a near-fatal crash that saw him out of action for six weeks before returning to the track wearing a respirator in order to race. While the pair had incredibly different approaches—both on the track and off—Hunt and Lauda actually stayed pretty close friends throughout their careers, despite the fact they were often fighting for pole position. Another fantastic behind-the-scenes look at the sport, as well as the characters that make it as exciting as it is. 8. McLaren Release Date: May 25, 2017 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 32m IMDb Rating: 7.3 Director: Roger Donaldson If there ever was an underdog story in F1, it'd be the story of Bruce McLaren: a humble New Zealander who kickstarted the eponymous dynasty. A prodigious racer, McLaren entered the sport a nobody and left it with a team named after him, and while the film showcases the journey of how McLaren gets to that point, it doesn't dive particularly deep into what kind of man he was. It's a missed opportunity, as when McLaren inevitably meets his end on the track, there is little room for reflection. Still, if you're more interested in some fantastic archival footage of F1's heyday (as well as some jarring dramatisations, most likely used to plug holes where the filmmakers couldn't secure footage), McLaren provides. 9. The 24 Hour War Release Date: November 22, 2016 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 39m IMDb Rating: 7.2 Director: Nate Adams, Adam Carolla Another look at the infamous Le Mans race, though this time delving back to the early 1960s, when Ford and Ferrari were locked in a battle for supremacy. Funnily enough, Ford decided to take Ferrari on after the Italian Stallion rejected the American automaker's bid to partner up, making this movie something of. a revenge tale. While it focuses on the infamous 1966 Le Mans race, The 24 Hour War also intersperses its archival footage with interviews with many of the still-living racers, mechanics, and team staff, leading to an incredibly insightful look back at the events surrounding the race as told by the people that were there. Make no mistake, though, the movie is made by gear-heads, for gear-heads. 10. Ferrari: Race to Immortality Release Date: November 3, 2017 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 31m IMDb Rating: 6.9 Director: Daryl Goodrich Following on from The 24 Hour War, you might want to know a bit more about how the great Ferrari got started. 2017's Ferrari: Race to Immortality takes us back to the 1950's, where Enzo Ferrari – namesake of the brand – led the team in red to supremacy. Race to Immortality tends to focus on the drivers, specifically Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorne, detailing what it was like for the men behind-the-wheel during a time the sport was arguably at its most dangerous: if you're one of those people that pine for a time where the sport was more rough-and-ready, you'll get some kicks here. While the film is ostensibly about Ferrari, it also details the wider context of F1 in the 1950s, as well as the kind of man Enzo was – pushing his drivers in ways that would probably see him removed from the sport today. 11. Truth in 24 II: Every Second Counts Release Date: March 26, 2012 Genre: Documentary Runtime: 1h 23m IMDb Rating: 7.4 Director: Rob Gehring Again narrated by Jason Statham, Truth in 24 II takes a look at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and follows Audi's preparation and efforts to take the victory in 2011. It's rare to get a sequel in the world of racing documentaries, but this isn't exactly a traditional sequel—rather, Part II follows a different team, featuring entirely different drivers, and was made by a different production team. There's definitely something lost in the process of moving on from that original team, even if the drivers on show here—Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer, and Benoît Tréluyer—are all fascinating in their own rights. Even so, Part II follows in the footsteps of the original, showcasing the mental and physical torture drivers put themselves through in order to get their team, and car, to cover as much ground as possible within the 24-hour time limit. It's not glamorous, but it is inspiring. Want More F1? We've Got You Covered

Diogo Jota's family set to inherit star player's estate after leaving behind wife and three kids in tragic car crash
Diogo Jota has left behind more than $27.5 million for his young family. The Liverpool star and his brother Andrew Silva tragically died last week after his Lamborghini swerved off the road in northern Spain, leaving friends, family and the footballing world in mourning. The pair were honoured by loved ones who flew in from all over the world for the funeral service in the 17th-century Igreja Matriz church in Portugal. Teammates including Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson carried commemorative red wreaths in the style of Jota's jersey, while former teammates Jordan Henderson and James Milner were also present. In a sad twist, Jota had just married childhood sweetheart Rute Cardoso days before, with whom he shared three young children. His passing means Jota's inheritance will now pass to his grieving wife and kids, a fortune which both Celebrity Net Worth and The Richest estimate to be just under $30 million. Though not possible to know the exact sum, the figures are estimated based on public information of the high-profile star. Jota's move to the UK in 2018 with Wolverhampton Wolves was met with a fast start to the Premier League, before the Portuguese international then signed a big-money move to Liverpool in 2020. Over five seasons at Liverpool, he scored 65 goals in 182 appearances, and won the 2024–25 Premier League title, two EFL Cups, and the FA Cup along the way. He was recently earning as much as $15.2 million a year from the club. There he took his football earnings to roughly $54 million before his passing. Jota also had lucrative sponsorship deals as a Nike athlete and built a wealthy e-sports portfolio with his love for competitive gaming. Atop this, the Premier League winner also had a collection of luxury cars and owned a home with Cardoso in the Liverpool area, as well as a villa in Lisbon, Portugal. Jota still had two more years to run on his contract with Liverpool, and while some outlets in Portuguese media have reported the club is set to pay the sum out to Cardoso and their children, those reports haven't been confirmed. Jota's estate could be hit with a 40 per cent inheritance tax applicable in the UK, which requires it to be paid if the sum exceeds $680,000, however, Cardoso would be exempt from this if Jota left the entire inheritance to her. Spanish police are also reported to be preparing an update in the coming days on the crash which claimed Jota and his brother's lives. Investigators are looking into a range of factors including the speed of the car, whether there was a puncture, road hazards, fatigue and any potential car faults, the answers to some of which may bring some reprieve for the family.
