As the Formula 1 championship chase intensifies, Oscar Piastri's 'character' is set to be tested. Mark Webber, Piastri's manager, believes that the young driver needs to find his 'deep motivations' to rebound from his recent championship struggles and deliver a rousing end to his 2025 season. While Piastri's McLaren teammate Lando Norris is 24 points ahead with just three grands prix remaining, Webber reminds us of Piastri's remarkable achievements as a three-season novice. Piastri's fifth-place finish in the São Paulo Grand Prix, despite Norris' win, marks the fifth race in a row where the Australian has missed the podium. Webber, a nine-time grand prix winner himself, understands the pressures of a title run-in. He emphasizes that Piastri's early success in his career is unprecedented, and he's working to keep the young driver's head high despite recent disappointments. Webber encourages finding the positives in Piastri's journey, as many drivers don't fight for a title in their entire careers. But here's where it gets controversial... Webber's support for Piastri might be seen as a form of 'coddling' by some, especially as Piastri faces the challenge of maintaining his form and focus in the final stages of the season. And this is the part most people miss... While Piastri's achievements are impressive, his ability to bounce back from this slump will be a true test of his character and determination. So, what do you think? Is Webber's approach helping Piastri, or is it hindering his growth? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
