Oscar Piastri has given his assessment of his sophomore season in F1, with the Australian believing that he has shown “pretty clear progress” from his rookie campaign whilst also suggesting that he “made life too difficult” for himself in certain areas during 2024.
While McLaren endured a tough start to 2023 when Piastri made his debut on the grid with the papaya team, their fortunes improved as that year progressed, allowing the youngster to end the season with two podiums under his belt as well as a victory in the Qatar Sprint.

Entering into 2024, McLaren’s ascent continued throughout the campaign and Piastri scored his first Grand Prix win in Hungary, a feat he followed up with by securing another P1 in Azerbaijan. This saw the 23-year-old end the drivers’ championship in fourth place, while his results helped the Woking outfit to secure their first constructors’ title since 1998.
Taking those final results out of the equation, Piastri has given an overall positive assessment of his second season in the sport whilst recognising that there are still some areas in which he hopes to improve going forward.
