Oscar Piastri

McLaren F1 Team
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Australian rookie Piastri has quite the shoes to fill in his first season with Formula One, taking former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's spot as Lando Norris' teammate for the 2023 campaign. Piastri was quite the phenom in his last season with Formula 2 in 2021, winning a total of six times, earning 252 points, and walking away with the Driver's Championship after just 23 starts in the series. The driver of the No. 81 will have a lot of eyes on his on-track performance this year, as McLaren is famous for their incoming drivers having issues sufficiently adapting to the feeling and handling of the car. In the upcoming season, Piastri's greatest challenge will be learning how to adjust his racing style to fit the capabilities of the MCL36 and where he fits amongst all the new talent on the grid this season.

Penalty for Impeding
Formula One
May 18, 2024
Piastri has been handed a three-place grid drop for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix after impeding Kevin Magnussen during Q1 of Saturday's qualifying hour, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Unfortunately for the young McLarren driver, his outstanding P2 qualifying effort is nullified by an incident during Q1. The stewards would rule that Piastri had impeded Magnussen in turns 2 and 3 during Q1. He will suffer a three-place grid penalty and now roll off P5 Sunday at Imola. Piastri has good pace and should be able to overcome this penalty, but it will now be some uphill work to make the podium.
