Oscar Piastri must bounce back from his recent struggles if he wants to become F1 world champion this year.
Former Formula 1 driver Martin Brundle suggests that Oscar Piastri’s poor performance in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix may have affected his current form.
Piastri’s challenging weekend in Baku, including crashes during qualifying and the race, marked a low point for the McLaren driver.
Since then, Piastri has struggled to achieve podium finishes, pole positions, or match his teammate, Lando Norris, who has taken the lead in the championship.
Qualifying troubles have been a recurring issue for Piastri, making it hard for him to advance during races.
Brundle speculates that Piastri’s mental state could be a factor in his recent struggles, but without a detailed discussion, the exact reasons remain unclear.
McLaren is likely investigating all aspects to support Piastri, who they see as a key contender for the world championship title.
