McLaren boss Andrea Stella has explained that Oscar Piastri’s recent struggles in Formula 1 are due to racing on low-grip circuits, which he sees as a “learning process.”
Piastri has been unable to match the pace of his teammate Lando Norris in recent races, including the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, where he qualified fourth and three tenths behind Norris who took pole position.
Piastri expressed his frustration at his performance, especially after also being overshadowed by Norris in the United States and Mexico City Grands Prix.
Norris has now taken the lead in points over Piastri by nine points, thanks to his Sprint victory and Piastri’s DNF.
Stella believes that Piastri is still adapting to the techniques needed to drive quickly on low-grip tracks, and expects him to improve as he gains more experience.
