The updates brought by McLaren they seem to have made people breathe a new air even to the very young Oscar piastri, which conquers the third position. Best placing of his career and superlative performance from the Australian talent.
The most drastic comment of Plates
For the first time since joining F1, Oscar took part in the classic post-qualifying interviews. Jenson Button, after offering the usual compliments, gave #81 his space to talk about this session: “What a qualification! In Q1 I was almost out, but the car today was a rocket in Q2 and Q3 and so I managed to put together a good lap. This is a fantastic result for the team. Being constantly in front is an exceptional result, now we will have to maintain these positions tomorrow too".
“Difficult Friday, car in the right window today”
The 2010 world champion then continued with questions. The one made to the Australian was about yesterday, where the English team he didn't look that good. Piastri then explained the situation and also how the updates are playing a role fundamental: “Yesterday was a bit of a difficult day. We were slightly faster than we showed. It was difficult to get the car into the right window. Today we did a better job in this regard. These conditions suit us quite a lot, like in Monte Carlo or even in Canada. We had some scares, but in Q3 we managed to put together a great lap and achieved an exceptional result. Updates? They are certainly working very well and for this we sincerely thank the team because they are continuing to push. If we look at where we were at the start of the season and where we are now, it was a huge step in the right direction.".
