The hits keeps coming... F1
in the current standings, Rossi is surprised with the attitude Piastri had towards that Williams opportunity.“When the Williams opportunity was about to turn into a concrete deal, so much so that the seat fitting was scheduled, they said ‘we have a possible opportunity at McLaren’.
“There was perhaps an opportunity [at McLaren, but] the door is closing, so Oscar is still in play for us. It explains why we decided to promote him – he was reserve and we elevated in the same framework to race driver. “But we could understand he was attracted by the prospect of a better challenge sporting-wise. We felt when we had the chance to offer him a better seat, I would contend, with us, because we are a works team, we felt like we would offer it to him and he would accept it as there was no better option – Ricciardo was staying.
“I’m a bit surprised Oscar thought that first, he was better than Williams. I can understand from a sporting perspective McLaren might be more interesting based on pure on-track results than Williams, but we didn’t expect that after so much support, so much loyalty, they would use that back door to shop around and get what felt like a better contract for them. Those are not the values we exhibited.
