"We all do this work for track limits, put gravel in places and I didn’t even go off the track."
Piastri had qualified third at the Red Bull Ring but saw his best lap deleted for track limits, dropping him down to seventh in the order.
Ahead of this weekend’s race at the Red Bull Ring, organisers have made significant changes to the track, particularly around Turn 9 to combat track limits with the introduction of a gravel trip and modifications to the kerb. “For me it’s embarrassing,” he told Sky after the session. “We all do this work for track limits, put gravel in places and I didn’t even go off the track. I stayed on the track. It’s probably my best Turn 6 and it gets deleted.
When pressed on why it was “embarrassing”, Piastri added: “That was the best Turn 6 I took. I was right to the limit of the track. That’s what everybody wants to see. Again, we’ve spent so much effort trying to get rid of these problems.
