However, by the first corner, he had fallen to last place after his car went into anti-stall mode following a false start.\n\nWhile trying to regain positions on the first lap, Piastri tried to overtake a group of cars on the outside at Turn 5 and crashed into the barriers.\n\n

I think, ultimately, I miscalculated the grip level. Probably a lot of that is due to the dirty air, but I know I have to expect the lack of grip.<\/p>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Certainly, I blame nothing else. It was two simple mistakes on my part that I caused today.<\/p>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

You’ll never feel incredible after a weekend like this, but ultimately, I felt the pace has been good this weekend. I think it’s rare that I have so many execution errors, so I’m very focused on leaving that behind.<\/p>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nAdded:\n\n

There hasn’t been anything different this weekend. It depends on how you want to see it.<\/p>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe weekend in Azerbaijan was Piastri’s first in 2025 without scoring points, but, given that Norris only scored six points with a seventh place, the Australian still has a 25-point lead at the top of the standings with seven races remaining.\n\n

Yes, that’s what it is. I’m not too worried about it.<\/p>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

I think, for me, I’m just focused on myself and what I can do to improve. There’s still a long way to go. And, whether you have good or bad weekends, the championship is far from over. That’s what I’m focusing on.<\/p>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
