‘Everyone else didn’t crash’ – Oscar Piastri doesn’t buy Lance Stroll excuse

1 years ago By Sports Desk

Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastre doesn’t believe Lance Stroll’s excuse after the chaotic incident at the Chinese Grand Prix. Stroll collided with Daniel Ricciardo’s car during the safety car restart, but instead of taking responsibility, he blamed the “accordion effect”. However, Piastre is not convinced by this definition.

As the field regrouped around a corner, Stroll collided with the rear of Ricciardo’s car, sending him into the air and forcing him to abandon the race. While Stroll tried to shift blame, Piastri emphasized that all other drivers managed to avoid the collision, showing that Stroll’s excuses don’t hold water.

“They didn’t all crash into each other,” Piastre said, explaining that in such a delicate situation it was necessary for the pilots to be prepared for all eventualities. His observation suggests that Stroll’s lack of anticipation led to the incident.

The collision also damaged Piastre and damaged its diffuser. Although he managed to continue the race and even hold off Lewis Hamilton, he expressed disappointment at the damage to his car, noting that it did not go as the engineers had planned.

McLaren team boss Andrea Stella confirmed the damage and explained that Piastri had lost around four tenths of a second due to the loss of downforce at the rear. Despite this, Piastri managed to leave Hamilton behind and finished eighth, which was a strong result given the circumstances.

The incident highlights how important every decision made on the track is and how a small mistake can have big consequences. Although Piastre and the other drivers managed to avoid a collision, Stroll’s lack of situational awareness caused significant damage to several competitors.

While the race itself was exciting with many incidents and overtaking maneuvers, the highlight was the controversy surrounding Stroll’s collision and the subsequent attempt to justify it. This raises questions about drivers’ responsibility and the need to take responsibility for their actions on the track.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on the drivers to see how they learn from past incidents and apply those lessons to future races. For Piastri and other affected participants, there remains hope that similar situations can be avoided in the future, ensuring a cleaner and safer race for all involved.
