Piastri reflects on Mexico result after losing championship lead

Oscar Piastri faced a challenging Mexico City Grand Prix, finishing fifth and losing his Drivers' Championship lead to McLaren teammate Lando Norris. The Australian admitted struggling to adapt, noting he's had to "drive the car very differently these last couple of weekends" after a difficult run of form. Starting seventh, Piastri dropped to ninth after a tricky Turn 1 incident but recovered steadily, making key overtakes. Despite closing on Ollie Bearman for fourth, a late Virtual Safety Car halted his progress. He acknowledged the pace discrepancy with Norris and emphasized needing to understand the car's recent behavior for future races.
