Oscar Piastri has shown significant improvement in managing tyre life throughout the 2025 Formula 1 season, earning praise from McLaren team principal Andrea Stella for his collaboration with the team’s engineers. In previous seasons, Piastri struggled with tyre wear compared to his teammate Lando Norris, but this year he has matched Norris’s pace over a stint and sometimes even surpassed it. Stella believes Piastri, now in his third season, is becoming a master of tyre management during races, attributing his progress to hard work and understanding rather than car improvements alone. The team’s focus on Piastri’s driving style and tire management skills has paid off, as evidenced by his consistent performance and strong finishes. Stella also acknowledges Norris’s progress in this area, particularly noting his strong performance on hard tires towards the end of the Miami Grand Prix, hinting at a potential closer battle between the two drivers in future races.
