2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Australian rookie Piastri has quite the shoes to fill in his first season with Formula One, taking former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's spot as Lando Norris' teammate for the 2023 campaign. Piastri was quite the phenom in his last season with Formula 2 in 2021, winning a total of six times, earning 252 points, and walking away with the Driver's Championship after just 23 starts in the series. The driver of the No. 81 will have a lot of eyes on his on-track performance this year, as McLaren is famous for their incoming drivers having issues sufficiently adapting to the feeling and handling of the car. In the upcoming season, Piastri's greatest challenge will be learning how to adjust his racing style to fit the capabilities of the MCL36 and where he fits amongst all the new talent on the grid this season.

Loses Battle with Teammate
Piastri finished fourth in the Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Marina Bay Circuit on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Piastri would line up third on the grid in Sunday's grand prix on the Marina Bay Circuit. The young McLaren driver would be quickly jumped after the lights out by his teammate, Lando Norris, and slip to P4 after banging wheels with Norris. Piastri would have to settle down from there and race hard to his lap 26 pit stop. He'd lead a couple laps while Russell pitted earlier, but that would be the limit of Piastri's time at the front. Piastri would rejoin P4 and race from there to the checkered flag within sight of Norris but 2-seconds out of reach.
