Important to show F1 rivals I wasn’t a pushover
Qatar sprint race winner, Oscar Piastri, has made a strong impression during his maiden year in F1, gaining respect for not backing down against more experienced competitors. Notably, George Russell received a penalty for running off track while trying to pass Piastri in Austin, and Yuki Tsunoda spun in Mexico after trying to overtake him. Piastri emphasizes the importance of showing his peers that he’s not a pushover despite his lack of experience in top-tier racing. He believes he has struck a balance between being assertive without being overly aggressive, which he credits for his success in junior single-seater racing. Throughout his rookie campaign, Piastri did not earn a single FIA superlicence penalty point.
