Oscar Piastri faces a huge task to become world champion in Abu Dhabi after a major McLaren error in Qatar.
Oscar Piastri struggled for words after a “tough to swallow” McLaren mistake cost him victory in the Qatar Grand Prix. He started from pole position and led the opening stages with ease; however, a safety car on the seventh lap turned the race upside down. Every driver pitted except both McLarens, with the Woking-based squad surprised by the field stopping. Piastri and Lando Norris emerged behind Max Verstappen after both of their pit stops, unable to catch the champion. Finishing second, Piastri sits 16 points behind Norris, with the title still possible.
