Oscar Piastri Warns of Imola Threat Despite McLaren's Strong Friday
Why it matters: Oscar Piastri remains cautious about the competition at Imola, even after McLaren dominated both Friday practice sessions.
The big picture: Piastri and teammate Lando Norris topped the timesheets in both practice sessions. However, McLaren has a history of strong Friday performances that don't always translate to qualifying success.
What they're saying:
- Piastri, who could equal Ayrton Senna's McLaren record with a fourth consecutive win, admitted, "I'm reasonably happy, but there are still some things to try and work on and improve... This wouldn't be the first Friday where we've looked strong, and then everyone has found a bit more going into qualifying, so we want to find more, but everything has gone pretty smoothly." He believes the car is good but needs refinement.
- Qualifying is crucial at Imola: "Saturday has been pretty important everywhere this year, and regardless of what the rest of the year has looked like, Imola is a place where qualifying means a lot."
- Piastri anticipates a close battle in qualifying, expecting rivals to challenge McLaren: "It is going to be important, but at the moment, I don't think it is just Lando, there are a few others who will join us in the fight, so we've got to keep our heads down and try to find a bit more."
