Oscar Piastri tipped to be the biggest surprise of F1 2024 with ‘regular podiums’

Piastri impressed in his rookie F1 season, winning the Qatar sprint race, as well as securing a hཧandful of other podiums.
While he was mostly out-performed by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, his competitive rookie season showed that McLaren were right to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo.
McLaren are expected to start 2024 strongly, building on their existꦦing car package.
Speaking to 🐼G🀅azzetta, Trulli said: “As a surprise [for 2024] I say Oscar Piastri, because he has a potentially competitive McLaren and could confirm his talent after a very positive debut season.
“If the car is up to it, we could get used to findiဣng him often on the podium. Today it is difficult to𓆏 judge a youngster in the minor categories, there are too many factors influencing performance, so the real litmus test is only when he arrives in F1.
“The Australian has shown really good qualities. He is fast and quite con💮sistent. To be able to evaluate him even better, one would have to see him fighting up there with the best.

“The confrontation in the team w𒊎ith an already established driver like Lando Norris will certainly be probing.”
Trulli alsꦚo had an outlandish prediction foꦆr the world championship.
“Other possible surprises I don’t see,” he added. “The unexpected outsider for the World Championship could be 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, if Mercedes will become compet꧅itive again and ab🅠le to challenge Red Bull.”
