Oscar Piastri’s race engineer Tom Stallard has explained the qualities that he thinks will one day make the Australian driver a world champion.
Since making his F1 debut in 2023, Piastri instantly looked at hime in the sport, scoring two podiums in his first season – as well as a Sprint victory in Qatar – before taking his progress even further during the current campaign.
Amid McLaren’s continued strong form, the young driver clinched his first Grand Prix win in Hungary and has since added a second to his tally in Azerbaijan, as well as standing on the podium a total of seven times.
During an appearance on the F1 Nation podcast, Stallard – who has worked with a number of top drivers over the years, including Jenson Button, Daniel Ricciardo and Carlos Sainz – was asked if he has seen what he needs to see to think that Piastri can one day win the title.
