Oscar Piastri shares thoughts after McLaren’s title win at the Abu Dhabi GP
While McLaren wrote history by winning the title, Oscar Piastri had a race to forget at the Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday. The Australian finished P10 despite starting P2 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
After the race, Oscar Piastri reflected on his season and deemed it a phenomenal one irrespective of the result in Abu Dhabi. The 23-year-old has won twice and amassed eight podiums in only his second professional Formula 1 season.
Phenomenal season is the line I will go with. Obviously, a tough night for myself, but I don’t think much of that matters at the moment. I am very proud of the whole team for accomplishing our main goal this season.
