In a stressful ordeal for all involved, Oscar Piastri somehow managed to stay 'relaxed', according to his manager. ✍️ Formula_Nerds F1
how Piastri approached such a situation and how he remained composed.In a very stressful situation, the 21-year-old remained “relaxed” as he waited for the decision on whether he’ll drive for McLaren or not. So early in his career, Piastri already had to face a situation which not only caused uncertainty but also a media frenzy.
Webber said when asked how Piastri handled this: “He was pretty relaxed, actually. Of course, he was ironically showing as much loyalty as he could do under the circumstances, because he was waiting for answers, and he was the one that was the most loyal out of the whole situation. “And all the other shareholders and people who had been there since he’s been eight years old, were certainly a lot less patient. But Oscar was keen to be as loyal as possible, and it still was pretty challenging, what the future was looking like.”
It can be said that Piastri had the most to lose here. Webber pinpointed the fact that McLaren would still have gone with a change in drivers, even if Piastri wasn’t available. However, they still didn’t take the matter lightly. It showed from the fact that they fought with Alpine and went to the rarely-used CRB for him.
The former Red Bull driver added: “Then obviously McLaren said they wanted to make a change – whether that was Oscar, or whoever it was – that was the main thing, we could’ve had no Aussies on the grid next year. Who knows?
