Piastri: Important to show F1 rivals I wasn’t a pushover
Oscar Piastri, the winner of the Qatar sprint race, gained praise for his performances in his first year in Formula 1. He displayed a willingness to battle with more experienced drivers, as shown by his on-track encounters with George Russell and Yuki Tsunoda. Piastri emphasized the importance of proving himself and not being underestimated by his rivals, even though he was inexperienced at the top level. He spoke about racing hard but fair and finding a balance between aggression and consistency, which he believes contributed to his success in junior single-seater categories. Remarkably, Piastri did not receive any penalty points on his superlicence throughout his debut season.
