Collision and Penalty
Piastri finished 11th in the Canadian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Things would get off to a poor start for Piastri in Canada. The team would opt to start the race on intermediate tyres although the track was quickly drying out. This strategy fumble would cause Piastri to pit at the end of lap 1 for slick tyres but he would lose a lot of track position. Later in the race the McLaren youngster would collide with Alex Albon and put the Williams driver out of the race. The stewards would assess a 10-second time penalty to Piastri and that would mire him in the field. He would make a couple late overtakes but could only achieve P11 by the checkered flag.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Australian rookie Piastri has quite the shoes to fill in his first season with Formula One, taking former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's spot as Lando Norris' teammate for the 2023 campaign. Piastri was quite the phenom in his last season with Formula 2 in 2021, winning a total of six times, earning 252 points, and walking away with the Driver's Championship after just 23 starts in the series. The driver of the No. 81 will have a lot of eyes on his on-track performance this year, as McLaren is famous for their incoming drivers having issues sufficiently adapting to the feeling and handling of the car. In the upcoming season, Piastri's greatest challenge will be learning how to adjust his racing style to fit the capabilities of the MCL36 and where he fits amongst all the new talent on the grid this season.
