Milan, 31 July (LaPresse) – ‘I suppose it's a two-horse race for the title now. It's often been me and Lando battling it out, but I expect the others to make life difficult for us on some tracks.’ These were the words of McLaren driver Oscar Piastri at a press conference ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest. ‘Lando and I are in the best car, so he will be my closest rival. I don't know if it will be the same in Budapest, but I expect us to be strong here too. However, this year, predictions have not always matched reality,’ added the Australian driver. Returning to his victory in Belgium, Piastri said: "At Spa, it was a combination of factors that satisfied me. The overtaking at the start was crucial, but so was the management of the medium tyres and a very strong pace."
