Piastri lost out to his team-mate in the fight for his first F1 championship
McLaren F1 driver Oscar Piastri opened up about feeling like he didn’t perform well enough in his championship loss to teammate Lando Norris in 2025.
The F1 2026 season is currently on a five-week break due to the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix amid conflict in the Middle East.
However, the Miami Grand Prix will mark the resumption of the season, with McLaren introducing a new car for the weekend as they aim to defend their constructors’ title.
Piastri, who won last year’s Miami GP, will face tough competition from the Silver Arrows and Norris, the reigning champion.
Reflecting on his 2025 season, Piastri acknowledged the pressure of maintaining success and overcoming challenges against strong competitors in Formula 1.
