Oscar Piastri attributes his successful season and championship lead to a marginal-gains approach, focusing on finding little improvements everywhere. McLaren’s Andrea Stella praised Piastri’s increased speed and ability to process information both in and out of the car as key factors in his elevated performance level this season. Piastri emphasized the importance of working more efficiently and smarter, rather than putting in more hours in preparation, to continue progressing. Despite early commentary on his weaknesses in qualifying and tyre management, insiders at McLaren highlight Piastri’s high level of performance upon arrival and his remarkable ability to assess and improve lap times. Piastri’s strong support network, including experienced former F1 drivers and engineers, has also played a crucial role in his development as a driver.
