via gpfans.comAdrian Newey is the only man who can save popular F1 star’s careerOscar Piastri, a driver for McLaren, has been struggling significantly since his last victory at Zandvoort in August 2025, failing to win any races in the past year. His performance has been notably inferior to that of his teammate Lando Norris, who has secured multiple wins, leading to concerns about Piastri's future in Formula 1 and with McLaren specifically. The article suggests that Piastri's best chance for a career revival may lie with Adrian Newey at Aston Martin, as other top teams are unlikely to consider him given his recent form.
The article highlights the challenges Piastri faces in securing a competitive seat, noting that his winless streak and the significant points gap between him and Norris raise red flags. It draws parallels with other drivers who have experienced similar declines, indicating that Piastri must take decisive action to avoid being relegated to mid-tier teams.

via thejudge13.comRussell confirms grid drop penalty and his own stand at Silverstone 2027George Russell faced a challenging Italian Grand Prix where his teammate Kimi Antonelli, starting from P19, achieved a remarkable victory. This outcome was particularly disappointing for Russell as he lost valuable points in the championship standings, now trailing Antonelli by 66 points. Russell confirmed he would be taking a grid drop penalty later in the season, likely coinciding with a major car upgrade planned by Mercedes.
