Does the current McLaren car suit Piastri better than Norris? The Briton explains!

In Jeddah two weeks ago, Norris finished in P4 after he crashed out in Q3. So far this season, Oscar Piastri has two more victories to his name than the Briton.

"It's very difficult to answer. I think there are just certain things which don't allow me to feel what I need to feel and those things are what allow me to drive to the level that I can drive at—to get pole positions and to drive at the highest level in racing," began answering the aforementioned question in Miami.

The Briton explains that when talking about this topic, he refers to only the smallest of margins, which could however prove to be very important in F1.

He continued: "And I also think it's a driver’s job to adapt to whatever car they get given, but there are compromises, and the team are also there to try and help you get the most out of the car. But it's clear there have been some changes and whether it's just suited Oscar or Oscar’s way, or him doing a better job at adapting, that's not for me to kind of know or try and figure out or waste my time on."

Still, he also underlined his performances are not matching to how he could finish the 2024 campaign. "For me, it's also hurt me a little bit more and I've not been able to perform at the level that I was at the end of last season, which I think is the best level that I've been."

Entering the Miami Grand Prix, where the McLaren driver managed to win his first ever race in Formula 1, Piastri leads Norris by 10 points in the standings. Max Verstappen's gap to the Australian currently stands at 12 points.
