Oscar Piastri: Fair Play Amidst Formula One Drama

Oscar Piastri reflects on his 2025 Formula One season, appreciating McLaren’s fairness despite ending third, just behind champion teammate Lando Norris. Both drivers won seven races, with technical updates poised to reshuffle the standings in the 2026 season. Piastri is eager to start strong in his hometown, Melbourne.

Oscar Piastri expressed satisfaction with McLaren's fairness last season, despite finishing third in the championship behind teammate Lando Norris. The Australian driver maintained confidence in the team's equitable treatment, with both Piastri and Norris securing seven victories, against Max Verstappen's eight.

The upcoming Formula One season promises a major shift with significant changes in engines and aerodynamics. This overhaul leaves teams guessing the pecking order as they complete initial tests before the official pre-season trials in Bahrain. Piastri looks forward to commencing the season on his home turf in Melbourne.

Returning to Australia after Abu Dhabi's final race, Piastri anticipates a strong start despite the unpredictable nature of the sport's new era. He remains buoyed by growing local support and seeks to better last year's performance.
