F1 analyst Alex Brundle called the drive-through penalty given to Arvid Lindblad at the Dutch Grand Prix harsh. The incident occurred on the opening lap when Max Verstappen crashed at Turn 14. As Lindblad, who assisted Larson, took evasive action, he passed Pierre Gasly's Alpine into Turn 1. The stewards deemed this a yellow flag infringement, resulting in the Racing Bulls rookie receiving a costly drive-through penalty.
Brundle sympathized with Lindblad's position, stating it is harsh because drivers should not be punished for secondary overtakes while taking evasive action to avoid the crash.
