One Australian politician has raised the idea that McLaren is “biased” against Oscar Piastri in the F1 title fight.
Australian senator Matt Canavan lightheartedly asked if McLaren is “biased against Oscar Piastri” in the F1 title fight during a government committee meeting. Piastri heads into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as a contender for the drivers’ title, trailing behind Norris and Verstappen. Piastri must finish first or second to have a shot at the championship. Despite leading earlier in the season, Piastri faced a wobble in form, drawing claims of bias from some fans. The committee meeting saw Canavan and others questioning whether McLaren’s actions are impacting Piastri’s title chances. Regional Affairs minister Anthony Chisholm indicated Piastri may have faced some unfair decisions during the season.
