Oscar Piastri has denied intentionally reposting a social media post suggesting McLaren is favoring Lando Norris in the Formula 1 title fight. His recent form has slipped, losing the championship lead and facing rumors of McLaren supporting Norris. Max Verstappen had called Piastri’s form slump “bizarre”, fueling the speculation further.
