SILVERSTONE, U.K -- Toro Rosso driver Pierre Gasly has labelled F1's penalty system as "bulls--t" after a post-race investigation dropped him from tenth to 13th in the final standings for the British Grand Prix.
Gasly collided with Force India driver Sergio Perez in Turn 17 towards the end of the race as the two were fighting over the final point-paying position. The incident saw Gasly collide with Perez on the entrance to Vale corner and the stewards deemed that he gained the position unfairly.
"The Stewards reviewed video evidence, heard from the driver of car 10 (Pierre Gasly), the driver of car 11 (Sergio Perez) and the team representatives," it said.
