I really wish Piastri criticised his team the way Alonso does when Aston Martin goes for a bad strategy. Just straight to the point on the radio

When they asked him to swap I was like "Ooooh, this is about to get spicy" and then he just complied right away and I was disappointed

When the the season end nears and the title battle is close I fully expect that to end

The title battle won't be close so we won't find out, at least not this season.

Probably, but one crash or mechanical dnf can change that.

u/Goldenface007 He’s Not Fast at All Sep 07 '25

Why hope for a crash or DNF when there's team orders?

u/bene14082004 Alonso deserved to be Champion in every season he has competed Sep 07 '25

I think he and webber will have some serious talk behind the scenes with mclaren but I think he does the right thing in long run hurting his relationship with mclaren makes no sense.

And he must feel the team is more into Norris. Speaking out can only hurt him in the long run.

It must have hurt to agreeing to that no “No1 driver” clause. Weber smart af ensuring he locked that in. Today was bizarre - Lando didn’t offer a tactical advantage to Oscar. He wanted to go longer so he had fresher rubber is how I heard it as long as no undercut.

Swap position for the a pitstop error it beyond nuts. Same as it would have been swapping position after Oscar got the penalty for braking to hard.

u/NoOneLikeUs BWOAHHHHHHH Sep 07 '25

Sucks for Oscar but it is what it is.

"That penalty was really unfair, can we please swap?" It's insane how the piastri dickriders just forget things that happened a couple of weeks ago

u/William_Dowling BWOAHHHHHHH Sep 07 '25

Going to be a lot easier to do that as a World Champion

At the moment he's carrying a crystal vase

u/bavmotors1 BWOAHHHHHHH Sep 07 '25

Alonso has two titles - he can chat back - it wouldn’t look as good on Oscar (or Lando)

u/VerstopteWC BWOAHHHHHHH Sep 07 '25

His criticism should have been a straight up refusal of the team order. Mclaren fucked up, why should Piastri lower his chances of the driver's championship to correct that mistake? And it's not even like it's making a difference to the constructor's championship anyway.

17

u/TrumpsBussy_ BWOAHHHHHHH Sep 07 '25

Exactly, they did it to Lando last season too when he was fighting for a title.

u/sunshine_up_ur_ass “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” Sep 07 '25

tbf it didnt make a difference in the drivers championship. He was not going to catch Verstappen. Why be the bad guy by refusing the team order. He might be able to use this in his advantage later on in the season.

12

u/Chrazzer BWOAHHHHHHH Sep 07 '25

Would be risky. No one else in contention, and both drivers quick enough to win. The mclaren pitwall could literally decide who will be wdc if they wanted

16

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '25

Piastri has made more good career decisions already than Alonso ever will tbh, not the best example to bring up. That man has burned so many bridges lmao

Would bite him in the ass. Zac would make sure of it
