Oscar Piastri, the reigning Formula 1 champion, expressed his continued confidence following his third-place qualifying performance at the Canadian Grand Prix. The result, while not the top spot, has left the young Australian driver optimistic about the upcoming race. Piastri noted that the team’s focus remains on making the most of the race weekend, with the goal of securing a strong finish despite the qualifying result.
McLaren’s team principal, Andrea Stella, commented on the qualifying session, stating that the team is now shifting its attention to damage limitation ahead of Sunday’s race. ‘We have the opportunity to make strategic adjustments and come out of the race stronger than we went into it,’ Stella said. The team is expected to analyze the performance of their car and implement necessary changes to maximize their potential in the race.
Meanwhile, other drivers have already started to express their confidence in the upcoming race. The Canadian Grand Prix is known for its challenging nature, and the team’s strategy will play a crucial role in determining the outcome. Piastri emphasized that the team’s resilience and ability to adapt will be key factors in their success. With the race just a few days away, the focus is now on preparation and execution to ensure the best possible result.
