The British driver has been booed twice this season, including in Monza, where Piastri was told to give second place back to his teammate due to a slow pitstop for the Brit. And many are convinced that the Woking-based based team want Norris to win the title over Piastri. But the 24-year-old Aussie says that’s simply not true. “No, it’s not the case. You know, I think the last couple of weekends have been a little bit more tricky, but we’ve got pretty clear answers on why that’s the case,” he said ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri has rubbished claims he is being sabotaged by his own team.

I just feel very grateful to both.” Watch every session of the Brazil F1 Grand Prix on Fox Sports via Kayo this weekend.
