Oscar Piastri was QUITE STARTLED When he looked in His Mirrors Dooring the Opening Lap in Zandvoort on Sunday and Saw Max Verstappen Almost Lose Control or His Car. For both, the moment ended well, after which piastri consolidated his world championship lead.
The 27-year-old Verstappen had an excellent start and passed norris at the exit of the tarzan corner. He opted for a low line in the hugenholtz corner a few hundred meters later, but almost lost control of his car there.
“I looked in My Mirrors and Suddenly Saw Max Flying Through the Corner at An Angle,” Said Winner Piaastri at the Press Conference in Zandvoort. “I was afraid he would end up in my side. Fortunately, it all gets just fine.”
Polesitter Piastri then Controlled the Dutch Grand Prix And, Due to Lando Norris’s Late Retirement, also Tok A Big Step Towards His First World Title. “I had Everything Under Control,” he continued. “I Could Slow Down A Bit If Possible, Accelerate When Necessary. I Feel Very Sorry for Lando.”
Piastri had A Difficult Start To The Grand Prix Weekend
Piastri had A Difficult Start To The Weekend. Norris was a faster in All Three Practice Sessions. In Qualifying, Piastri Recovered and Tok pole Position. “That was the key this weekend,” he said.
“I always like to build up a weekend Quietly, but not as quietly as this weekend, of course. I don’t do this consciously. I try to learn every Grand Prix and I have done that again this weekend.”
Piastri Has A 34-Point Lead about Norris in the World Championship Standings, WHO Retired With Technical Problems. “That Margin is not Yet Large Enough to Start Driving Tactically. The Season is Too Long For That. I Still Have To Go For The Win Every Grand Prix and Cannot Settle for Less.”
