The Race F1 Podcast · What's gone wrong for Piastri in 2026? · 22 Sep 2026 podcast

And it has often been race space that's been difficult, and Piastri's talked about this a few times in recent race in terms of things he's working on, etcetera, to get on top of it. matched

But fundamentally it's a little bit like the trouble that Russell's having as well, because I've said before Russell has a bit of a touch of the Piastri's in terms of struggling a bit more when it's it's lower grip and you're dealing with the micro slides and all that kind of thing. matched

And these cars are lower down force. matched

So we're matched

Seeing kind of a cohort of drivers who maybe aren't at their their best in that situation. matched

But as Lando Norris says, it's down to you to adapt. matched

And matched

It's not about whether a car fits your driving style well. matched

But then we come back to the thing I always say that we tend to use driving style as quite a broad definition. matched

And it's sometimes better to think of it not as driving style, but kind of your toolkit where you're comfortable. matched

And if you can adapt within the feel and the feedback and the things you can do that you're comfortable with, then you can adapt easily. matched

If you're not, you're doing that thing of kind of driving matched

consciously trying to kind of force yourself into a way of driving that you're not ideally suited to without the chance to go and work at it on a test day or something. matched

So it's it it's difficult for Piastri, but again, I think there's this temptation, isn't there, some artists just sort of say, ah, Norris has kicked on. matched

Piastri is now and forevermore will be the second driver. matched

Oh, he's got a l uh and we have to be really careful about just suddenly deciding that a driver can be really impressive one year and then just be a bit mediocre the following year. matched

That that isn't what we see. matched

We do see them moving around within their range of performance based on the parameters. matched

So we we need to see, in the case of a Piastri or Russell, how it plays out in the longer term and whether they can adapt. matched

And also I don't think that the answer as some suggest is oh he's got to get out of McLaren 'cause it's Norris' team and he's number two driver. matched
