Piastri 'pretty mind-blown' by overturned penalty

McLaren driver Oscar Piastri stated he was "pretty mind-blown" by the decision to overturn a penalty issued to Pierre Gasly during the Monaco Grand Prix.

However, the stewards later rescinded this penalty, a move that surprised Piastri.

Piastri's comments highlight the subjective nature of some racing decisions and the significant impact they can have on competitors.
