Competition for a Formula 1 Championship “Sounds Same” to fight for those in junior categories, says Oscar piastryWho notes with his intra-team fight McLaren steady Lando Noris Major differential factor.
Piastry won the 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup, 2020 Formula 3, and 2021 Formula 2 title, which continues to spend 2022 as a reserve of Alpine ahead of its F1 call-up for McLaren next year.
In his title-winner F3 campaign, he fought with Prema Team-Mate for honor Logan Sergeant – Although the dynamics under the ladder are very different; Each driver effectively runs for himself, as they usually pay for entry.
Australians talked about the required mindset between each of their junior crowns; Their F3 season was defined by light-to-flag racing, while his F2 title needed to adjust the impact of the tire strategy.
Piastry compared the championships that he is currently fighting for F1, including a lot of expanding team elements. At the top level, every race focuses on winning every race.
The 24 -year -old told Autosport, “In many ways it seems similar to the championship that I have run in the past.” “I think the big difference for me is that this is the first time I have actually made a team-mate so difficult for a championship.
“I raced against Logan Sergeant for the championship in F3, but very little before going to F1. There is no pitstop, no strategy, it just tries out purely and goes beyond each other.

“In F1 you have found additional complexity of strategy. You have found a group of different things that can affect the results, so it is quite different in some ways.
“It has given great importance to some things: staying ahead before the pitstops, taking risks at some point, not taking risks. It is a very different mindset in some ways, but eventually I am trying to secure a championship.
“I know that the things that work for me in the past were not the same things in every championship, so it’s a kind of thing for me: there is not a way to try to do so.
“You cannot give a constant scoring points in the situation we are in. You still need to beat everyone because we are finally fighting for the first and second weekend.
“And if you are in second place continuously, you can say, yes, it is constantly finishing and scoring good points, but if the man’s victory, if all the race of another man is winning, then you know, that is also consistent.”
Piastry stated that, vs. Junior Championship, each ground has very little temptation to calculate the necessary points – F2 has two races per week, for example, although the heritage of Kovid epidemic raised three in the year’s title year, as in turn with a series with F3.
Asked about the general racing driver Maxim of taking it ‘Race by Race “, Piastry agreed that it was a slightly Bhoji turn of the phrase – but only because its roots are in the truth of what it means to fight for a title.

He said, “I think F1 has very little temptation (to do math) because you only have a race per week,” he said. “You often have two in the Junior Championship, we had three races in F2 that year, at the end of the week.
“So you can work on an average, but just because it has happened in the past, it does not mean that it is going to happen again.
“And I think this is the saying, taking it ‘Race by Race”, it seems boring and boring in some ways, but it is very true.
“You can’t worry about what is going to happen in Abu Dhabi and what you are doing in the weekend should focus your attention, especially on top of F1.
“You have reached the top of your game every once and any attention that you take away from it means that you are not at the top of your game.
“So as Clich is it, it is actually about focusing on the race you are in, trying to score the most points.”
