Oscar Piastri has begun to look "forlorn", according to one former F1 world champion -- but the Australian's McLaren boss is adamant he's still full of fight going into the final three races of a thrilling campaign.
Piastri goes to Las Vegas this weekend knowing he needs some of the luck on the floodlit Strip to fall his way, having to hit the jackpot while fortune perhaps deserts his soaraway teammate Lando Norris.
