Says to fight for the title in junior categories “Skeeps similar” for a Formula 1 Championship, says the competition for 1 championship Oscar piastryWho notes with his intra-team fight McLaren Team partner Lando Noris Major differential factor.
Piastry won the 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup, 2020 Formula 3, and 2021 Formula 2 seasons consecutively 2022 before spending 2022 on the sideline as Alpine Reserve.
In his title winning year in the 2020 Formula 3 season, he fought with Prema Stabelmet for honor Logan Sergeant – Although the dynamics under the ladder are very different; Each driver effectively runs for himself, as they usually pay for their drive.
Australians talked about the required mindset between each of their junior crowns; Where his F3 campaign was defined by light-to-flag racing, while his F2 title victory required a change to accommodate the impact of tire strategy.
Piastry compared the crowns to the F1 title, for which he is currently fighting, which has a lot of expanding team element in playing. He says, at the top level, now focuses on winning every race.

“In many ways it seems to be very 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 worked so hard for a championship to a teammate,” Piastry said.
“I raced against Logan Sergeant for the Championship in F3, but there is little before coming to F1. There is no pit stop, no strategy, it goes out purely and tries out and defeats each other and goes ahead of 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 pit, not 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, compared to the Junior Championship, there is very little temptation to calculate the necessary points in each round – F2 has two races per week, for example, although the heritage of Kovid epidemic elevated three in the Piastry title year, as in turn as a series with F3.
Asked about the normal racing driver Maxim to take 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.
“I think F1 has very little temptation (to do mathematics) because you have only one race per week. You often have two in the junior championship, that year we had three races in F2, per weekend.

“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 you know, you know, running it from the race, you know, it feels 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.”
