We noticed final yr that Oscar Piastri could be very able to placing outcomes collectively, as he claimed his first Grand Prix victories in Budapest and Baku, and narrowly fell brief in Monza after a nicely managed race. As a lot as his expertise was obvious, I nonetheless wouldn’t have predicted the step up he’s made this yr to change into the championship favorite after the primary third of the season.
Final yr, Oscar’s racecraft set him out from his rivals and gave him wins that he needed to work for. In any case, he solely scored his first ever pole place in China this yr, so he needed to come from behind to seal his wins final season.
