Jacques Villeneuve claims Oscar Piastri has suffered ‘total collapse’ in F1 title race
Jacques Villeneuve has claimed that Oscar Piastri has experienced a “total collapse” under the pressure of the F1 world championship fight. Piastri led the standings for 15 rounds before his form declined dramatically following his last victory in August. Piastri’s recent performances have been mediocre, with uncharacteristic mistakes during races. Villeneuve believes the pressure of fighting for his maiden world title is affecting Piastri’s performance. Piastri is currently trailing behind Lando Norris and will be leaning on advice from his manager, Mark Webber, to bounce back. Max Verstappen is also closing in on the championship contenders.
