Guenther Steiner suggests Oscar Piastri should consider his future options if he misses out on F1 title glory.
Guenther Steiner, the former team chief of Haas, suggests that Oscar Piastri should consider leaving McLaren if he fails to win this year’s F1 world championship. Piastri, who was once the favorite for the championship, experienced a significant drop in performance, putting his title hopes in jeopardy. Despite leading the standings by 34 points after the Dutch Grand Prix, Piastri now trails his McLaren teammate Lando Norris by 24 points with only three races left in the season. Steiner believes that Piastri should contemplate moving to another competitive team if Norris wins the title. He emphasizes the importance for Piastri to regroup over the winter and return stronger next season to avoid changing teams. Steiner also acknowledges Max Verstappen’s potential to finish ahead of Piastri, even though Verstappen is not in the title race mathematically but is showing strong form recently.
