Oscar Piastri Aims for 2025 F1 Championship

Oscar Piastri is optimistic about his chances for the Formula 1 world championship in 2025, following a strong performance in the 2024 season where he secured his first Grand Prix victories and helped McLaren win its first constructors' championship since 1998. The 23-year-old Australian finished fourth in the drivers' standings, 82 points behind teammate Lando Norris and 145 behind champion Max Verstappen. Piastri believes he has developed the necessary skills to compete but acknowledges the need to consistently 'deploy them all the time.' He feels that while he has made significant progress since his rookie year, there are still areas for improvement. The added pressure of competing at the front has made it crucial for him to refine his performance further. Piastri's ambitions for the upcoming season reflect his confidence and readiness to challenge the top drivers in the sport.
