What happened to the usually ice-cool Piastri in Baku?

Oscar Piastri endured a remarkably challenging Azerbaijan Grand Prix, marked by uncharacteristic errors. Former Renault driver Jolyon Palmer highlighted Piastri's 'scrappy' weekend, which began with a qualifying crash. On race day, the McLaren driver suffered a botched start from ninth on the grid, dropping him to the rear, followed by another crash on the opening lap. Palmer suggests these mistakes, especially the elementary race start error, reveal that even the 'ice-cool' Piastri feels pressure. This performance raises questions about the championship contender's composure under race conditions, a departure from his usual consistent form. The incident on the opening lap compounded a disastrous start, ultimately forcing an early exit from the race.
