The past Sunday Alex Palou was on pole for the Mid-Ohio race. He led from the green flag and was never in danger of losing first place, until a few laps from the end he ran wide going into a bend and fell back to second place where he finished.
The British GP had Oscar Piastri on pole and he also led from the start and looked in a great position to win the race, until he did some questionable braking during a safety car period, and received a time penalty that dropped him to second place where he finished.
In both these cases second place really was the first loser.
I'm not sure how I feel about the ruling during the British GP. I have seen some bad or questionable rulings form the officials at the British GP in the past. What I might be saying is they like to have a British driver win.
