Piastri's Hopes Dashed in Saudi Arabia After Disastrous Start

to F2 Season

Oscar Piastri had high hopes for his debut season in Formula 2, but his dreams were dashed in Saudi Arabia after a disastrous start to the season. The Australian driver had been tipped to be one of the stars of the 2021 season, but his hopes were quickly dashed after a series of poor performances in the opening two rounds.

Piastri started the season with a promising fourth-place finish in the feature race at Bahrain, but it was all downhill from there. He was unable to replicate that success in the sprint race, finishing in twelfth place, and then followed it up with a disappointing fifteenth place finish in the feature race at Imola.

Things went from bad to worse in Saudi Arabia, with Piastri finishing in twentieth place in the feature race and then failing to finish the sprint race due to a mechanical issue. This left him languishing at the bottom of the standings and with no points to show for his efforts.

The poor start to the season has been a huge disappointment for Piastri, who had been tipped to be one of the stars of the 2021 season. He will now have to work hard to get back into contention for the championship, but it is clear that he has a lot of work to do if he is to turn his fortunes around.

Piastri will be hoping that he can get back on track in Monaco, where he will be looking to put his disappointing start to the season behind him and get back into contention for the championship. It is clear that he has the talent and potential to be a star of Formula 2, but he will need to put in some strong performances if he is to make his mark in 2021.
