Piastri OUT of Brazil race as red flag deployed
McLaren F1 star Oscar Piastri crashed out of the Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race on lap seven, sparking chaos at the track due to damp conditions causing difficulties in handling the cars. Piastri’s misfortune came from getting a tyre onto the kerb with water, sending his car spinning into the barriers at a troublesome section of the track where other drivers like Hulkenberg and Colapinto also faced similar fates. This incident significantly affected Piastri’s championship aspirations as his teammate Norris was leading the race with Verstappen in fourth, taking advantage of Piastri’s absence from the front. With the majority of the points available in the main race qualifying, Piastri must regroup while hoping their team can prepare their cars in time for the crucial sessions. The crashes caused a delay, but the race resumed with Norris in the lead, highlighting the dynamic nature of the championship battle and the challenges faced by the top contenders in such high-stakes races.
