The F1 star that has been likened to Schumacher and Alonso
During his debut season with McLaren, Oscar Piastri has shown great performance, challenging his teammate Lando Norris. He narrowly missed out on his first podium at the British Grand Prix due to an unfortunate Safety Car intervention and finished second behind Max Verstappen in the sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps. McLaren recently announced a new multi-year deal with Piastri, keeping him at the team until 2026. Stefano Stella, who previously worked with Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso, sees similar qualities in Piastri, specifically in terms of their ability to build unity within the team and continuously improve. Stella is impressed by Piastri’s natural talent, self-awareness, and attitude towards continuous improvement, which he believes are key qualities for success in Formula 1.
