Oscar Piastri revealed an injury he sustained during the first half of the season on social media.
Oscar Piastri announced on Sunday morning that he sustained a broken rib during the first part of the F1 season, sharing a series of photos on X, with the last one showing an X-ray confirming the injury. The X-ray was dated July 8, the day after he finished fourth at the British Grand Prix. Despite being in contention for a podium, Piastri’s chances were dashed when McLaren did not opt for a double-stack strategy, forcing him to struggle on slick tires in worsening weather conditions. Reflecting on his experience, Piastri humorously mentioned his broken rib, noting, “Rib’s enjoying the break.” This revelation follows his first F1 victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he stood atop the podium in celebration.
