Piastri begs no forgiveness after 'overly-intense' Austrian GP battle with Norris

Speaking after the race to media including GPblog, Piastri looked back on the battle with his teammate.

"I mean, again, there have been a few battles in the past, not just last week, but last year and the year before. So, I think we both knew what to expect," said the Aussie driver looking back on the long history of wheel-to-wheel racing he and his teammate have undergone.

"It was a tough battle. It was close at some points, probably pushing the limits a bit much from my side once or twice. But we're fighting for race wins in Formula 1. It's going to be pretty tough work and pretty hard," said a resolute Piastri who begs no forgiveness for how hard he raced his McLaren teammate Norris.

The title fight between Piastri and Norrris got closer as the Briton took 7 points off his teammate's lead in the standings. Max Verstappen on the other hand has seemingly fallen out of contention as with his DNF the gap to Piastri grew to 61 points.
