Oscar Piastri Addresses Lando Norris' Mentality regarding what makes a World Champion

"I think everyone has their own personality, everyone has their own style,” he stated.

“I think the most detrimental thing you can do is try and do it in a way that’s not your own style. For some people, that looks very different.”

“There are certain characteristics that I think you do need."

“Obviously being fast is the most important one. But there are certain traits that you need."

“But I think, as Lando said, that doesn’t mean you need to be a bad person. You need to be tough on track. But there’s a lot of different ways you can go about it."

“I don’t think there’s one style or one perfect mould of what a Formula 1 World Champion looks like. I think they’ve all looked slightly different."

“You could argue that some of them look similar in a lot of ways, but again, I think the most important thing is to try and do it the way you want to do it, and that will give you the most.”

Piastri himself is not someone who seeks confrontation or races extremely aggressively all the time; instead, he demonstrates more patience and a willingness to let what happens on the track dictate the narrative.

Five races in, it seems as if his mentality is bearing fruit, and his steady development from promising driver to title contender comes with little fanfare, relying instead on results.
