At the time, Piastri stated that the decision was &#8220;fair&#8221; and that he and McLaren were &#8220;aligned&#8221; on the decision.\n\nTwo weeks later, in Azerbaijan, Piastri crashed in both qualifying and the race, a pointless weekend that started a slump that has left him 24 points behind Norris, with three races to go.\n\nPiastri admitted that Monza&#8217;s decisions affected him.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Obviously, the previous race was Monza, where I didn&#8217;t feel it was a particularly good weekend in terms of my performance and, obviously, what happened with the pit stops.<\/p><cite>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nPiastri explained that in Baku, things didn&#8217;t work well on Friday, he felt he was pushing too hard and wasn&#8217;t happy with his driving, trying to compensate on Saturday.\n\nThe driver mentioned engine problems in the first free practice session, as well as driving poorly and using C6 tires (the softest compound from Pirelli) which are notoriously difficult to handle. &#8220;There were many small things that finally added up,&#8221; he added.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0921%2Fr1548855_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Oscar Piastri se ve abatido tras estrellarse en el Gran Premio de Azerbaiy\u00e1n en septiembre.\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Oscar Piastri se ve abatido tras estrellarse en el Gran Premio de Azerbaiy\u00e1n en septiembre.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nIn Italy, Piastri pitted first despite not being the leading car, as McLaren feared the threat of Charles Leclerc, who was fourth. A slow stop delayed Norris, and the duo swapped positions.\n\nPiastri hasn&#8217;t won a race since then.\n\nPiastri described the weekend in Baku as his &#8220;worst weekend&#8221; in racing.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Ultimately, Baku was the perfect storm of quite a few things.<\/p><cite>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe driver added that, although it was a terrible weekend, the learning obtained was very valuable from a technical and emotional point of view.\n\nPiastri concluded by saying that all drivers have had disastrous weekends and that learning from those experiences is fundamental.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oscar Piastri revealed that McLaren&#8217;s team orders at the Italian Grand Prix were still on his mind when he suffered a complicated weekend in the following round in Baku.
