F1 star Oscar Piastri labelled a ‘w****r’ after US Grand Prix flop
Former F1 team boss Guenther Steiner criticized McLaren star Oscar Piastri on his podcast after a disappointing performance at the United States Grand Prix.
Piastri scored only 10 points in Austin, while his championship rivals Lando Norris and Max Verstappen performed well, reducing his lead to just 14 points over Norris and 40 points over Verstappen.
Steiner jokingly labeled Piastri a ‘w****r’ on his podcast segment, expressing disappointment in Piastri’s recent performance compared to his earlier form.
There have been discussions about McLaren backing either Piastri or Norris in their title fight against Verstappen, but the team has not made a decision yet.
Steiner suggested that Piastri’s dip in performance may stem from lack of team support and confidence, impacting his ability to perform at his best on the track.
