Piastri distraction at Brazilian Grand Prix baffles Sky F1 star
At the Brazilian Grand Prix, Sky F1 star Ted Kravitz observed Oscar Piastri dealing with a major distraction during the pre-race proceedings. Lando Norris outshone his teammate Piastri at McLaren, dominating the championship round and claiming victory in both the sprint and main grand prix races. While Norris impressed in the 2025 season’s 21st round, starting strong from pole position and securing a clean race win, Piastri faced challenges and received a 10-second penalty for causing an incident with Charles Leclerc that impacted his race. Despite Piastri’s seventh victory of the season, he finished fifth, widening the gap between himself and Norris to 24 points in the standings. Ahead of the chaotic 71-lap event in Brazil, Piastri found himself in the middle of grid chaos as guests passing by disrupted his focus, attracting attention and distractions that the McLaren driver could have done without. It was a challenging race for Piastri, contrasting with Norris’s success and contribution to McLaren’s strong performance in the championship.
