Australian Team DriverMcLaren » Oscar Piastri said he had competed in at least three Grands Prix with a broken rib.
Earlier, the Formula 1 driver had released an X-ray showing his injury. Before the stage in the Netherlands, Piastri said the cause of the fracture was a poor seat adjustment at the start of the season.
— On some tracks it was not easy. But Barcelona, Austria and Silverstone have quite difficult tracks. At first there was just a slight pressure, which eventually made itself felt. The photo was taken the day after the British Grand Prix, but the injury actually happened before Silverstone.
But now everything is fine again. We changed the seat and fixed everything immediately. Even when the rib was broken, the pain decreased significantly as soon as we changed something,” Piastri said, as quoted by crash.net.
After the Silverstone race, there were races in Belgium and Hungary, which the Australian competed with an injury. At the Budapest stage, the 23-year-old driver won his first Formula 1 victory.
The championship resumes after a break on Friday 23 August, with a stop in the Netherlands.
