Oscar Piastri has claimed three podiums in the last four races.
Oscar Piastri is ready for Formula 1 to return this weekend and aims to improve his position in the drivers’ championship at Zandvoort. The Dutch Grand Prix marks the end of the summer break, with all drivers returning to action. Piastri showed strong form before the shutdown, with a victory and second place in his last two races. He has been pressuring Lando Norris, with both chasing Red Bull in the constructors’ championship. Despite Norris in second and Piastri in fourth, only 32 points separate the McLaren duo. Piastri has momentum going into Zandvoort and aims to continue his strong performance. If he starts well, Piastri could have a very strong second half of the season.
