McLaren's Oscar Piastri says his crash-filled Baku F1 performance was the "worst weekend I had in racing", and hinted that the team's position swap in Monza on the previous race weekend was still playing on his mind.
Piastri was on the back foot in Azerbaijan after being struck by a reliability issue in practice, and then proceeded to suffer a costly crash in qualifying that left him ninth on the grid. A botched start then shuffled the McLaren to the back of the grid in Lap 1, with the Australian crashing half a lap later as he tried to force his way through the field.
