Piastri ‘didn’t feel comfortable’ in US GP Qualifying

Oscar Piastri will start the United States Grand Prix from sixth position, admitting to a "tricky session" and not feeling "terribly comfortable" with his McLaren during Qualifying. Despite his team-mate Lando Norris securing P2, Piastri struggled with an "unpredictable" car, unable to match Norris's pace throughout the weekend. After a first-lap collision eliminated both McLarens from the Sprint, the championship leader now aims to "make up some ground" on Sunday. Piastri, who maintains a 22-point lead over Norris in the standings, will line up alongside Lewis Hamilton, determined to improve his race performance.
