Piastri’s F1 Mexico GP compromised by damage from Tsunoda clash
During the race, Oscar Piastri made contact with Yuki Tsunoda twice in a tense battle. The second clash resulted in Tsunoda being forced off the road when he attempted an overtaking move on the outside at Turn 1. The incident was investigated by the FIA, but no further action was taken. Piastri was later asked to let teammate Lando Norris pass him so that Norris could attack the cars ahead. Piastri finished in eighth place, around 10 seconds behind Norris. Piastri mentioned that he had some damage after the clash with Tsunoda, and that battling with him didn’t make sense given Norris’ pace. He acknowledged that the result was underwhelming and stated that there was still room for improvement. McLaren team boss Andrea Stella confirmed that the car damage and tire condition played a role in Piastri’s performance, with the car losing downforce and the tires being more worn compared to Norris’.
