Oscar Piastri Reflects on Mexico City Grand Prix Free Practice Session
Oscar Piastri, the McLaren driver, had a mixed day at the Mexico City Grand Prix during Free Practice 2. While he started strong, claiming P4 on the timesheets in the opening hour, his performance took a turn in the second session, ending in 12th place.
Piastri described his soft-tyre run as 'pretty average', acknowledging the need for consistency. This comes after a challenging weekend in Austin, where he faced a DNF in the Saturday Sprint and a P5 finish in the Sunday race.
The Australian driver is determined to improve, focusing on understanding the team's recent deficit at the Circuit of The Americas. He believes small adjustments can make a significant difference, aiming for a more consistent performance on Saturday.
Despite Max Verstappen's top finish, Piastri remains optimistic about McLaren's chances at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. He believes the team has a strong car and is confident in their ability to compete closely with Red Bull.
As the season progresses, Piastri's reflections highlight the importance of learning from setbacks and adapting strategies for future races.
