Daniel Ricciardo has insisted that Oscar Piastri has hit the ground running, despite the Australian only scoring two top 10 finishes so far this season.
Piastri arrived at McLaren ahead of the current campaign, replacing Ricciardo, who had been dropped by the British team. There were high hopes that the 22-year-old would be able to compete with team-mate Lando Norris better than Ricciardo had.
But the duo have been dealt a bad hand when it comes to their car, with McLaren struggling for pace in the early part of the season. Norris has still claimed three top 10 finishes and sits two places ahead of Piastri in the world championship standings.
