An Oscar Piastri conspiracy theory was raised during Parliament in Australia.
During a Senate meeting in Australia, politician Matt Canavan mentioned a conspiracy theory involving Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastri and McLaren’s supposed bias against him.
Canavan raised concerns about McLaren’s treatment of Piastri following a strategic error at the Qatar Grand Prix.
The Australian politician asked if McLaren was purposely working against Piastri in the championship race.
Regional Affairs Assistant Minister Anthony Chisholm acknowledged Piastri had faced unfair decisions throughout the season.
Piastri, who missed out on a crucial victory in Qatar, now faces an uphill battle in the championship standings ahead of the final race in Abu Dhabi.
Despite Piastri needing a top-two finish and other specific results to win the title, McLaren has denied any favoritism or planned team orders for the season finale.
