Juan Pablo Montoya says Oscar Piastri has the talent to be F1 champion but there’s one problemJuan Pablo Montoya has expressed confidence in Oscar Piastri's potential to become a Formula 1 champion, despite Piastri's near-miss in the 2025 season where he finished third in the standings. Montoya highlighted Piastri's impressive record of nine Grand Prix victories and 28 podiums, but cautioned that the opportunity to win a championship may not come again, referencing the challenges faced by drivers like Fernando Alonso. In the current 2026 season, Piastri has struggled, securing only two podiums and currently sitting seventh in the standings. Montoya noted that Piastri's teammate, Lando Norris, has adapted better to the new car regulations, achieving five podiums including two wins. For Piastri to succeed, he will need to adjust his driving style significantly to compete effectively under the current conditions.f1oversteer.comMon 5 OctF1 fans denounce McLaren’s ‘midfield mentality’ after ‘shameful’ radio message to Oscar PiastriOscar Piastri had to tell McLaren whether teammate Lando Norris was pitting in the early stages of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Palmer noted that Hamilton's performance in Malaysia indicates he is back in contention for race wins, particularly with the strengths of the Ferrari team aligning well with the characteristics of the Singapore circuit. Hamilton, a four-time winner in Singapore, will be looking to add to his tally after a successful stint with Ferrari. Palmer highlighted Hamilton's historical success at both Singapore and Austin, suggesting that the medium-speed corners of the Singapore track could favour Ferrari's strong aerodynamic capabilities. With seven races remaining in the season, Hamilton aims to leverage his experience and the car's performance to secure another victory.f1oversteer.comMon 5 OctKarun Chandhok knows Liam Lawson joined Red Bull at the wrong time after watching Isack HadjarKarun Chandhok believes Liam Lawson joined Red Bull at an inopportune time compared to Isack Hadjar, who has shown impressive consistency this season. Hadjar's performance included a third-place qualification for the Bahrain Grand Prix, although he finished fifth due to an engine penalty. His streak of nine consecutive top-six results highlights the improvement in Red Bull's second seat, which has struggled since Sergio Perez's decline in 2024. Chandhok noted that the new regulations have made the Red Bull car more user-friendly, allowing drivers like Hadjar to perform better. Lawson's recent stint with Red Bull saw him score 14 points, and he was closer to teammate Max Verstappen than in his previous season. Chandhok emphasised that timing is crucial in Formula 1, and Hadjar's success is a testament to the changes in the car's handling and performance.f1oversteer.comMon 5 OctDavid Coulthard hints at imminent F1 African GP announcementDavid Coulthard has indicated that Formula 1 may soon announce its return to Africa, a long-awaited development for the sport. During a podcast, he expressed optimism about the addition of an African race to the calendar, while also discussing the challenges of fitting it into the existing schedule alongside races in Portugal and Turkey. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali previously mentioned that negotiations for a grand prix in Africa are advancing positively. Lewis Hamilton has been a vocal supporter of bringing F1 back to the continent, emphasizing the importance of having a race in Africa and his personal connection to the region.Motorsport.comMon 5 Oct1 comment
