Oscar Piastri has revealed bettering in qualifying is his major level of focus for the 2025 Method 1 season after evaluating unfavourably to McLaren team-mate Lando Norris.

Piastri was outqualified 21-3 by Norris in 2024, albeit typically by small margins, with Norris additionally getting the higher of the Australian in dash qualifying this 12 months. Meaning Piastri has regressed in comparison with his rookie 2023 season, when he outperformed Norris on seven Saturdays regardless of being much less skilled at that stage than he’s now.

A few of that’s defined by Norris having made a number of decisive errors in 2023 which knocked him again on the beginning grid, an space the 2024 championship runner-up labored on with the staff during the last low season.

It now seems to be like Piastri will observe an analogous means of soul looking this winter to iron out his personal qualifying weaknesses that seeped into his driving over the previous marketing campaign.

“This season I really feel like I made good steps ahead, there may be nonetheless room to go,” stated Piastri, who completed fourth within the 2024 standings.

“The largest one has been leaving a couple of too many positions on the desk in qualifying. I do not assume I’ve ever actually made life straightforward on myself within the races in that facet.

“I really feel like in all the opposite areas, I’ve been in a position to present what I am able to and in addition present that I’ve improved. So once more, now it’s simply placing every thing collectively as a result of the gaps now are very small, or non-existent, so if I can get all of it collectively, then I will likely be on my manner.”

One silver lining, in line with the 23-year-old, is that he has a very good grasp of how he can enhance his execution in qualifying moderately than having to attempt to perceive the place the lap time has to return from.

When requested by Motorsport.com if he’s assured he could make that subsequent step, Piastri stated: “I believe so, the massive factor for me is there haven’t been many events the place it has been onerous for me to know the place the time has gone.

“After qualifying [in Abu Dhabi, where he was two tenths down on polesitter Norris], I just about knew instantly the place I had gone incorrect. It is not a case of actually needing to search out that additional step, it is with the ability to be on high of my recreation each time.

“I really feel like when I’ve been on it, I’ve been ok. That is to not say there’s not nonetheless room to develop on high of that, however the encouraging factor is the potential has been there. So, the following step is realising that potential each weekend. If I can do this, we’re in for a enjoyable season.”
