‘Not the lap time I’m expecting’ – Piastri rues Mexico Qualifying
Oscar Piastri faced a "frustrating" qualifying session at the Mexico City Grand Prix, ending in P8, nearly eight-tenths behind his McLaren teammate and polesitter Lando Norris. Piastri admitted the lap time was "not what I’m expecting" and struggled to match Norris's pace throughout practice and qualifying. Despite a minor power unit concern in Q2, Piastri confirmed it was resolved. He will start P7 due to a penalty for Carlos Sainz, aiming for a strong start and capitalizing on opportunities into Turn 1 to improve his championship standing.
