Oscar Piastri has been dubbed as one pundit as 'special' for how he went about his business over the weekend at Suzuka.
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri holds his P3 trophy after securing his first ever F1 podium.
Piastri took his first ever Formula 1 podium on Sunday after securing a front-row start, all on his first visit to Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix.While the Australian rookie was out-paced by McLaren team-mate Lando Norris in race trim on Sunday, Bradley explained that the demands placed on the drivers around Suzuka mean that it is “very, very tricky for rookies” and it takes “four or five times” visiting to truly master its unique undulations.
“If you screw up in real life at Suzuka, it can go very, very wrong. It feels small, it feels narrow, it feels like a tunnel vision effect, and it’s very, very blind as well.“The elevation on TV does it absolutely no justice. Firstly, you’re blind on the exit of the Esses, but then at the end of the Esses with Dunlop [Curve], you literally can’t see the exit, so you’re having to pinpoint and predict and hope that the track’s still there.
“So to have not been there and to be relatively competitive to Lando, obviously not perfect in the race, but through the weekend, to be that close to him, I think that Oscar had a very, very good weekend.
