Piastri Reflects on Saudi Arabia Controversy

Oscar Piastri, the new face of McLaren, isn’t one to shy away from controversy. The young Australian driver spoke to the media about his first F1 weekend and the fallout from his eyebrow-raising move against Max Verstappen in Saudi Arabia.

I think the decision of the stewards was correct, and I knew that it aligned with the rules and guidelines. But even without those rules, I believe I was far enough ahead in the corner to claim it as mine and had no intention of giving way. In such situations, you try to keep the corner for yourself – it’s instinctual, and you want to avoid being passed. – Oscar Piastri

Bearman Battles Braking Issues

Ferrari junior Oliver Bearman is no stranger to challenges, but his inaugural F1 race weekend with Haas was far from smooth. The 18-year-old driver admitted to struggles with inconsistent braking, which affected his performance on track.

There are noticeable differences in the brake pedal feel based on the brake set we’re using – it’s unpredictable. We can’t explain why this is happening at the moment, and it’s making it difficult to optimize my performance. – Oliver Bearman
