Shackles off Piastri as team backflip opens door to another Aussie win
It culminated in 23-year-old Piastri, who claimed Sprint Race pole and was on track for victory in Brazil earlier this month, being asked to move aside so Norris could claim victory and an extra point.
Oscar Piastri is relishing McLaren’s return to all out racing. McLaren has an ideal chance to finally snap a 26-year wait for a constructors’ title, sitting 36 points ahead of Ferrari and 49 in front of Red Bull.“There’s still some very specific scenarios where I might be needed to help out, but for the very large majority of situations, it’s back to how it was.
Despite being the clear support driver to Norris this season, Piastri has still picked up his first two Grand Prix victories, winning in Hungary in July and again in Azerbaijan two months later.
