The young Australian is hoping to continue his late-season run of form by winning the Singapore Grand Prix, just seven days after he won in Azerbaijan.
Oscar Piastri is backing himself to win a second grand prix in the space of seven days in Singapore this week. Oscar Piastri is confident he has what it takes to back up his Azerbaijan Grand Prix win by finishing first in Singapore this week.
Piastri says he can master the "incredibly demanding" heat and physical challenge of the floodlit Marina Bay track just a week after winning on another street circuit so brilliantly in Baku at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. As does his remarkable run of recent form which, even if it may be too late to challenge for the championship itself, shows the Melburnian to be the most in-form driver in the whole of the F1 circus.
He's still 91 points behind leader Verstappen but that sort of form and consistency until the end of the season could still see him, with seven races left, move up from his current fourth place, 13 points behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and 32 adrift of Norris. "It's no longer a weakness, let's say. I still think there's plenty to learn. He's improving all the time with his understanding of the tyres."
