Why Piastri want answers to a ‘bigger question’ in Monza

Oscar Piastri is looking for solutions to address his recent performance dip compared to McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Despite a strong qualifying showing in Zandvoort, Piastri struggled with race pace, finishing well behind the winner. Piastri noted that his issues have been inconsistent, making them difficult to diagnose and fix. He remains optimistic that the team has identified areas for improvement in both driving style and car setup, and he is eager to test these adjustments at the Italian Grand Prix. Reflecting on his season, the Australian mentioned that the unique nature of current F1 car concepts and tyres, combined with occasional reliability issues and misfortune, has made his campaign more challenging compared to his debut year.
