'History shows Piastri will be even better in 2026'
Oscar Piastri may have just missed out on the title this year, but IndyCar race winner and F1 TV analyst James Hinchcliffe reckons the Aussie will be even more impressive in 2026.
Much has (rightly) been made of the incredible seasons both Lando Norris and Max Verstappen have had. It was a title battle between two titans of the sport that raged all season long and came down to the last lap of the last race.
It was, in fact, a battle between three titans of the sport, which ebbed and flowed, culminating in a final race title decider. Oscar Piastri was the championship leader and odds-on favourite for the crown as far into the year as September.

Oscar Piastri will be looking to strike back next year after missing out on a maiden F1 title to Lando Norris in 2025.
Oscar Piastri has been told his results in the opening rounds of next year's F1 campaign will be critical when it comes to how McLaren manage its drivers during the season.
Piastri and team-mate Lando Norris were left free to race throughout the 2025 campaign as they battled for championship success.
It generated questions late in the year if one should be prioritised as Max Verstappen closed on the pair in the drivers' standings.

Brundle claims Oscar Piastri ‘misread’ after Norris title defeat
Martin Brundle believes that Oscar Piastri was “misread” in F1 2025. According to Brundle, Piastri is not as “stone cold, horizontal” as thought.
But, Brundle regards Piastri as a World Champion of the future, despite that setback of his title defeat to McLaren teammate Lando Norris. McLaren team principal Andrea Stella went a step further, and predicted “multiple” titles in the future of Piastri.
Piastri hoovered up titles on the junior scene, and for large parts of F1 2025, it appeared as though he was set to become Formula 1 World Champion in just his third season.
Piastri was 34 points clear out front after Zandvoort, but fell into a run of six grands prix without a podium. That included a very uncharacteristic error-strewn Azerbaijan GP. Piastri crashed in qualifying, and crashed out in the early stages of the race.
