🗣 'I was trying to think of what to say, but he beat me to it.' Oscar Piastri admits he was not sure if Daniel Ricciardo wanted to hear from him, prior to his fellow Australian phoning him to speak about their F1 situation:
McLaren's decision to swoop for Piastri earlier this summer helped trigger the exit of Ricciardo from the Woking-based squad, with his F1 future now uncertain.
"I was planning on getting in touch myself, but with the timing of things, he was obviously at races, quite frankly I didn't know if he wanted to hear from me," Piastri said. He added:"It was a nice moment. If I can get close to emulating the success he's had on track and the character he is off the track, I think I'll be doing a reasonable job."is now set in stone, he does not yet know when he will get his first run for his new team., even though he has been stood down from official duties with the team at grand prix events.
Explaining the background to his choice, Piastri has revealed that it was all triggered by him having very limited options when he first started out.
