For Piastri, the collision marked a disappointing conclusion to an otherwise impressive weekend. The McLaren rookie had showcased his talent during the sprint race on Saturday, leading laps in Formula 1 for the first time, and started the main race from a competitive position in the top five.
Speaking to the media, including PlanetF1.com, after the race, Andrea Stella confirmed the extent of the damage to Piastri’s car, stating that the steering system was broken, making it impossible for the young driver to continue.
