P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Oscar Piastri’s F1 drivers’ title lead has been reduced to just eight points, but Guenther Steiner still fancies him for the championship.
Former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner believes that Oscar Piastri can win the F1 drivers’ title, but cautions against making any further mistakes.
Piastri, having not won a race since the Spanish Grand Prix, is currently facing stiff competition from his McLaren teammate and title rival Lando Norris.
A missed opportunity at Silverstone, where a time penalty cost Piastri the win and handed victory to Norris, has significantly narrowed the points gap in the championship.
With Norris showcasing great form in the past races and Piastri’s lead diminishing, Steiner acknowledges the pressure on the Australian driver.
While Norris has regained confidence and is capitalizing on Piastri’s errors, Steiner maintains his support for Piastri to ultimately clinch the title, despite the mounting challenge from his rival.
