Can Piastri become world champion in Formula 1? 'We see that in him'

One of the biggest talents in Formula 1 is Oscar Piastri. The Australian has almost always fallen in the points in recent races, but is there more in store for him? Some are already touting him as a potential Formula 1 world champion. McLaren team boss Andrea Stella sees considerable world championship potential in Piastri.

"Drivers that have the potential to become world championship material, they need to have a natural speed which we saw straight away. Then they need to have the mental capacity, and capability to use their talent. Which in a way Oscar establishes in an interesting way," the McLaren team boss told GPblog and others .

"As the car became more competitive, it became clearer that he could compete at the top of Formula 1," the Italian team boss continues. Stella also says he saw a lot of good points from the Australian especially while focusing. He just did not get distracted according to Stella. " We saw this straight away in testing and then in the early races of the season," said the 52-year-old man from Orvieto.
