Martin Brundle believes Oscar Piastri will come back with a vengeance in 2026 after missing out on the 2025 drivers' championship title to his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris.
For the majority of the season, Piastri and Norris battled it out at the front of the grid, and the Australian driver had six grand prix wins over Norris's five before heading into the summer break. But a strong comeback from Norris and a late surge from Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the second half of the season resulted in Norris claiming his first drivers' title. Verstappen overtook Piastri for second in the standings.
