Über diesen Titel
Oscar Piastri has had an eventful few days on and off the track, as the racing world’s attention turned to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. McLaren’s rising star, currently leading the Drivers' Championship according to Formula1.com, arrived in Baku with the pressure of maintaining his title momentum. The weekend began with Free Practice 1, where Oscar was forced to wait in the garage due to a power unit issue coinciding with a lengthy red flag caused by the damaged exit kerb at Turn 16. Despite the disrupted session, he bounced back to clock the second fastest time behind his teammate and chief rival Lando Norris, trailing by just over three tenths of a second.
Social media was abuzz with clips from Oscar’s FP1 stint and praise for his calm demeanor under pressure during the interrupted session, with F1’s official channels highlighting his ability to maximize limited track time. However, Friday’s second practice brought drama. Oscar clipped the wall with his McLaren in FP2, dropping him to 12th on the timesheets – a notable setback given the championship context. Speaking to Formula1.com cameras after the session, he admitted to “a few tricky moments” and described the incident as a learning opportunity, underscoring his trademark maturity and self-reflection.
Later that evening, according to RacingNews365, Oscar was summoned to the stewards for a yellow-flag infraction during FP2—the first time this season. The stewards handed him a reprimand, which is the lowest level of formal warning, signaling both the seriousness of regulatory compliance and Oscar’s otherwise clean record. While the decision sparked some fan debate online, it appears to be a minor footnote in a season otherwise defined by consistency and raw pace.
Business-wise, there have been no major announcements from Oscar or McLaren regarding new sponsorships or partnerships over the past few days, with attention firmly on performance and strategy in Azerbaijan. Speculation from some F1 fan accounts mentioned possible contract negotiations between Oscar and McLaren for a long-term extension, but there has been no verified comment from either camp in recent press releases.
Overall, the headlines surrounding Oscar Piastri this week center on his resilience under pressure, a small brush with the stewards, and his recovery from on-track setbacks, all reinforcing his reputation as a future world champion. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely as the Baku weekend unfolds, with many expecting Oscar to translate the drama of practice into another decisive race result.
