Piastri wants to earn WM titles - not just win
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri makes it clear: He wants to work hard for the title and not leave it to chance.
Oscar Piastri has clear ideas about his path to the World Cup title. The 25-year-old McLaren driver emphasized in a social media video from his team that he wants to earn the Drivers' World Championship and not just win it by chance. He wants to be remembered as a 'real racer'.
Piastri, who won two Grands Prix last season, sees himself in a crucial phase of his career. The Australian knows that talent alone is not enough - it takes hard work, consistency and the absolute will to prevail against the competition. His statements highlight a mature approach for a driver of his age.
The message comes at a time when McLaren is seriously fighting for the top spot after the upward trend in 2024. Piastri's focus on performance over luck could make the difference when mental toughness counts in close title fights. He doesn't want to appear as a driver who only won the title because of external circumstances.
