Oscar Piastri could benefit from relying on the resources around him, including Mark Webber, according to 1996 F1 drivers’ champion Damon Hill.
Damon Hill believes Oscar Piastri could benefit from guidance from manager Mark Webber for his first F1 drivers’ championship battle. Piastri has faced a challenging period of poor form, losing his 34-point lead over Lando Norris and now trailing by 24 points. The significant 58-point swing could have a crucial impact in the championship race. While Piastri also has Max Verstappen as a competitor, the gap between them has widened to 25 points. Hill acknowledged Piastri’s recent performance dip since his last victory in August, but remains confident in the young driver’s ability to bounce back and overcome challenges in the competitive world of Formula 1. “His trajectory was positive, but it’s crucial to address and improve upon the setbacks,” highlighted Hill in a discussion with The Mirror regarding the talented 24-year-old driver.
