Oscar Piastri is focused on capitalising on the “plenty of lessons” he learned over the course of the 2025 F1 season.
Australian F1 driver Oscar Piastri reflects on a season where he learned valuable lessons despite a disappointing outcome in the championship race.
Leading for much of the season, Piastri was eventually overtaken by Lando Norris and Max Verstappen due to a late-season decline in form.
The team’s strategy to treat both Piastri and Norris as equal number one drivers played a role in inviting Verstappen back into contention.
Piastri’s struggles after being asked to give way to Norris in Monza culminated in a series of poor performances in Austin, Mexico City, and São Paulo.
Despite finishing behind Norris and Verstappen, Piastri remains optimistic, acknowledging the lessons learned and growth achieved throughout the challenging season.
