The weekend before, Lando Norris really fought for the win and insisted that the McLaren car was the fastest in Spain. Against this background, the deficit of his partner was surprising, because Oscar Piastri only finished seventh and lost to Norris by more than 30 seconds. In Austria he was asked to explain what this was about.
Oscar Piastri: “Let’s say there was no obvious problem with the car, even though some decisions we took while working on the settings may have affected it. As it turned out, they were wrong.
In addition, my flying behavior also had an influence on the result to some extent. In general, we believe that several individual small things together led to quite serious consequences. But I think we have received very clear answers to the questions about what exactly went wrong last weekend, and that is already encouraging.
Every weekend I try to maximize the car’s potential, and we’ll see how everything goes. But now we understand that even small mistakes can significantly affect both the result and the number of points earned. I believe this also affects the general mood in the team to some extent…”
