Oscar Piastri has enjoyed his first drive in the new Formula One McLaren and offered the bold declaration: "I do think that I can become world champion this year."
Asserting he's a different driver to 12 months ago, the Australian, who won two grand prix last year while finishing fourth in the championship, explained how he expected "much more" this year as he took the new MCL39 for its first spin at Silverstone.
Lando Norris, his more experienced teammate who finished runner-up behind Max Verstappen last year, is the UK bookmakers' favourite to take the title this year.
