Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri fought for the win throughout the entire Austrian Grand Prix, while Max Verstappen was already out in the first tour. Piastri, however, was not disappointed by the reaction of the Orange Army.
After the Austrian Grand Prix, the focus quickly shifted to the next race. The British Grand Prix is, in fact, scheduled for next week. Oscar Piastri discussed the behavior of the British fans.
Last year, Piastri was surprised by the fans in England. “A couple of years ago they were chanting my name in the crowd, so that was unexpected. I'm not sure I'll quite get that again, which is fair enough,” the Australian said.

There was also a word of praise for the Dutch worldchampion's fans. "I feel like the fans in general this year have been a bit nicer to us. We didn't even have Max Verstappen fans booing us today, so that was a nice change."

Then the focus returned to the English fandom. "They've always been very accepting of me. Obviously, I race for a British team, and I think they're big fans of everything papaya and that includes both of us. I'm expecting there to be a lot more Lando fans than me fans, but that's fair. It's his home race as well, so I think it'll be fine."
