168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen “unquestionably” races 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri differently to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, it has been claimed. 

That is the view of Sky Sp🌳orts F1’s Martin Brundle, who is convinced that Red Bull’s Verstappen🐻 takes a different approach to going wheel-to-wheel with Piastri than his does with McLaren teammate Norris.

In the last two races alone, Piastri has got the better of Verstappen by forcing the four-time world champion into mistakes during the heat of baജttle.

Verstappen, who is notoriously hard t𒈔o overtake, copped a penalty in Saudi Arabia after he cut the first chicane to retain track position over Piastri, who then cleverly passed the Dutchman at Turn 1 in Miami on his way to claiming a third consecutive victory.

Asked if Verstappen races Piast🌄ri differently to how he races Norris, Brundle replied: “100 per cent. Unquestionably

“I think h🐟e [Verstappen] knows that there’s something a bit more streeꦏt fighter about Oscar Piastri. He saw it in Jeddah.

“Max knows he got🍸 a different animal than Lando when Oscar is in his mirrors - not by much than Lando. Just positioning the car, there’s a decisiveness about what he did.”

Norris lost places on the opening lap when he challenged polesitter Verstappen into Turn 1, 🃏and lost crucial time when he eventually got past his rival later in the race, enabling Piastri to open up a buffer in the lead.

“You can’t criticise Lando’s racecraft, because the way he pas🐻sed the Mercedes and eventually passed Max was just top drawer,” Brun🗹dle added.

“But I൩ have absolutely no doubt that Max realises that Oscar is a different deal in wheel-to-wheel combat.”

Brundle also praised the way in which Piastri decisively battled past V꧑erstappen by forcing him into an error.

“He basically ende🃏d up forcing Max [into a mistake],”ꦓ Brundle said.

“Oscar just dollied him up a treat. Max was tight inꦐto Turn 1, on the dirty line, has to brake late.

“Oscar saw it all unfolding, actually had to turn left a little bit. He rea🌌lised that Max was going to sl🐎ide, and that is sort of driving somebody else’s car as well as driving your own car.

“He just had a littꦚle j🅠ink left, ducked underneath and disappeared. That was all one big cunning plan which came to fruition nicely.”

Oscar Piastri learning how to beat Max Verstappen

Speaking after extending his championship leaಌd over Norris to 16 points after winning four of the opening six races in 2025, Piastri said he is learning how to get the better of Verstappen, who is 32 points adrift in third place.

"I'm starting to understand what you can and can't do around Max. In Saudi I did what I needed to, to win myself the race," Piastri told Sky Sport🎃s F1.

"Even though it took me a fair few laps to get past him, that ඣwas probably as 🤡efficient as I could have overtaken him," said Piastri.

"I learned through my years of watching Max and racing against him that bei♋ng on his outside is not a very fun place and I had to try something differenꦬt. It felt like a matter of when, rather than if, but I had to pick my moment wisely."
