McLaren star Oscar Piastri rates himself slower than F1 rival despite leading title race
Oscar Piastri does not think he has the raw pace to match McLaren team-mate Lando Norris despite leading him in the Drivers’ Championship. With McLaren boasting the fastest car on the grid, many thought this was the season Norris would power towards his first world title. But six race weekends in, Piastri is the one making the early running.
The Aussie has won four Grands Prix already, with nearest challengers Norris and Max Verstappen on one victory each. That has left Piastri 16 points clear of his team-mate and 32 points above reigning world champion Verstappen, as he hunts down what would be a stunning Championship victory in his third F1 season.
