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

And people won't necessarily remember it, but he he made his pit stop and he was being told by his race engineer Tom Stallard to be careful with how he brought the tires in, which is the correct instruction normally, because the if you work the tyres really hard when there's a lot of tread on it, you can accelerate the deg and everything. matched

But Killer Instinct Piastri, he thought, Oh, this is my chance to make the move. matched

And he made the move and then he parked in front of Leclerc. matched

And that won him the Grand Prix. matched

So that tells you what Piastri can do at his best. matched

I'm sure we'll see Piastri at his best again in in Formula One. matched

I'm not sure this weekend is the time to see it, but. matched

While if you are Scopiastri, I think you're a bit a little bit concerned and you've got things you need to work on. matched

I don't think it's panic stations by any stretch of the imagination. matched

I certainly don't buy the rather simplistic nar narrative that he's somehow been found out and he's actually useless because it's far, far, far more complicated than that. matched

Let's move on to the topic of Williams now. matched

Ben, long-awaited major upgrade package for Baku. matched

It's gonna be two brand new lighter chassis plus aerodynamic upgrades. matched

So what impact are you expecting that to have on a team that's managed a grand total of eleven points? matched

Has been the ninth fastest car on average so far this year, an average of two point eight percent down on single at pace. matched

Well ultimately James Vows, the team principal, said at the start of the season that their new baseline is the fifth place they got last year. matched

So they've fallen short by their own uh standards and there's all sorts of reasons for what has gone wrong there. matched

The car was late, obviously it's overweight as we mentioned, downforce isn't there and there's other handling yeah, high rake didn't work, handling troubles, this sort of three wheeling problem that's been persistent over a number of years. matched

They're still battling and matched

Ultimately, a lot of what they're doing for Baku is what I'd sort of call the standard housekeeping stuff because you want to be on or in fact under the weight limit. matched
