Jos Verstappen weighs in Oscar Piastri’s recent poor form in the 2025 F1 title race
Jos Verstappen finds Oscar Piastri’s recent dip in form quite strange, especially after losing the lead in the 2025 F1 drivers’ championship to his teammate, Lando Norris. Piastri slipped behind Norris for the first time since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in April, finishing a disappointing fifth in Mexico, 42 seconds behind Norris. With only one point separating Piastri from Norris and four rounds left, the momentum is clearly in Norris’s favor. McLaren has attributed Piastri’s struggles in Austin and Mexico City to Norris’ superior tire management and driving skills in low-grip conditions. Jos Verstappen suggests that Piastri needs to fight back now to regain his championship position and reputation.
