Part 6/16:
Oscar Piastri’s Challenges and Race Management
Regarding Piastri’s recent form, Windsor attributes some of his struggles to the mental impact of recent incidents—most notably in Baku and Singapore. The Baku race exposed weaknesses, with Piastri making mistakes on tricky, high-load corners, which dented his confidence.
He points out the Singapore collision with Lando Norris, which showed that Piastri might be feeling the pressure and a lack of clarity within the team. Windsor discusses how Oscar tends to be a precise, forensic driver but has recently taken a more conservative approach, especially after difficult weekends, leading to lesser performance. His recent drops in form—missing poles and achieving fewer podiums—are seen as consequences of internal team dynamics and self-doubt.
