Oscar Piastri: “Until then, our fight had been clean”
Questioned on account of the accident, Oscar Piastri avoided adopting a critical discourse on the colleague:

“Until the incident, I think both, I and Lando, I took a correct fight. He attacked me in the opposite turn, I defended myself in the stroke, and our struggle was tough, but clean, until the impact.
I don't think Lando had any bad intention, simply bad luck. We both fight for the world title and I am grateful to the team that allows us to compete against each other. I do not expect changes in this regard, we will continue to fight during the season ”, added the Australian.
