Oscar Piastri has been utilizing a marginal-gains approach to secure four grand prix wins and take the championship lead, describing it as finding improvements in every aspect of his driving.
According to McLaren’s Formula 1 team principal, Andrea Stella, one of the major factors in Piastri’s success this season has been his increased speed and ability to process information more efficiently both on and off the track.
Piastri emphasized the importance of working smarter rather than harder, focusing on making incremental improvements in his preparation and performance.
While critics have highlighted areas for improvement in Piastri’s qualifying and tire management, team insiders believe he has been operating at a high level since joining McLaren and has shown a strong ability to analyze and improve his driving.
Stella also praised Piastri’s support network and the guidance he receives from experienced individuals in both engineering and business matters, emphasizing the collaborative effort behind Piastri’s success.
