Oscar Piastri receives unique honour after new wasp species named after McLaren F1 driver
A newly-discovered species of wasp was named after McLaren Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastri because of his achievements in F1 and reminiscent of McLaren’s papaya livery. Piastri received this honor after a disappointing performance at the Canadian Grand Prix, where McLaren’s strategy gamble led to a non-points finish. Piastri’s collision with Alex Albon and subsequent repairs and time penalty resulted in an 11th place finish outside of the points. McLaren’s team-mate Lando Norris also retired, leaving Piastri in sixth place in the championship standings. Despite the setbacks, McLaren sits third in the constructors’ championship, trailing Mercedes by 113 points. Piastri made a surprise visit to the Isle of Man TT with manager Mark Webber, sharing their experience on Instagram.
