In these last four Grands Prix, we need to have both cars finishing at the front if we want to keep Ferrari at bay.” Despite Norris’s strong showing during the previous race in Mexico City, where he finished on the podium, Piastri concluded the race in eighth place.
Piastri’s Commitment to Bounce Back
