In the past, Oscar Piastri struggled in the final races of a season while trying to secure a racing championship. The Australian driver hopes that the lessons learnt can come in handy starting at this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix.
Piastri won seven of the first 15 Grands Prix this season to build a comfortable 104-point lead over reigning champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull. However, that gap is now down to 40 points, with the Dutchman winning three of the last four races.
