Probably a lot of that is because of the dirty air, but I know it&#8217;s better than that, expecting the lack of grip.<\/p><cite>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nPiastri stated that there was no obvious reason for having suffered two accidents in two days, but was consoled by his overall performance during the weekend.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>You&#8217;re never going to feel incredible after a weekend like this, but ultimately, I felt the pace has been good this weekend. I think it&#8217;s rare that I have so many execution errors, so I&#8217;m focusing a lot on leaving that behind.<\/p><cite>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe weekend in Azerbaijan was Piastri&#8217;s first in 2025 without scoring points, but with Norris only obtaining six points after finishing in seventh place, the Australian still maintains a 25-point lead at the top of the standings with seven races remaining.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Yes, that&#8217;s what it is. I&#8217;m not too worried about that. I think for me, I focus solely on myself and what I can do to improve. There&#8217;s still a long way to go. And whether you have good or bad weekends, the championship is far from over.
