While at the last race in Hungary, he made a storming start up to second before dropping back after sustaining some♕ minor damage.

“The thing that caught my interest yesterday [on Sunday] was this guy, Piastri,” Jordan told talkSPORT.

“He’d never been 🐲to this track before, maybe once in the junior formulas, and for him to come out and qualify on the second row and race like he did, and race against Max…&🦹nbsp;

“Be careful where he’s going to go because I thin𒊎k there is big star quality in there, I’m actually blown away with this young kid, so he’d be one of the drivers I’d be looking at to challenge Max in the future.”

Piastri is managed by ex-Red Bull driver Mark Webber, and Jordan feels if a seat came up alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, the curren🥂t McLaren driver would be a prime candida༺te.

“I don’t see it [Ricciardo], they had that chance befo▨re and Red Bull don’t usually go back in time, they have a very forward vision.

“If there’s a chanඣge at Red Bull, Mark Webber has brought this kid [Piastri] on, brought him over from Australia, and what a revelation he’s turned out to be.”
