Nico Rosberg was far from impressed with Zak Brown’s radio call to Oscar Piastri after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Nico Rosberg criticized Zak Brown’s congratulatory radio message to Oscar Piastri after the Abu Dhabi race. Although Piastri finished second and beat his teammate Norris, Norris’ position secured him the championship title, leaving Piastri disheartened. Brown’s interruption of Piastri’s consolation to praise him and mention next year’s prospects drew Rosberg’s critique for lack of empathy towards the defeated driver. Rosberg suggested Brown could have shown more understanding towards Piastri’s disappointment instead of focusing on celebration. Brown’s enthusiastic message to Piastri after the race, praising his season and team spirit, contrasted with Rosberg’s view that a more compassionate approach might have been suitable in that sensitive moment.
