Oscar Piastri is such a low-temperature customer that if, you imagine, he were to discover he had accidentally sat on a hand grenade, he would casually check that the pin was still in place before commenting with equal nonchalance on the carelessness of whoever left it there. Then, he would resume the business of the day with no further thought about the matter.
But even Piastri’s enviable equanimity has come under pressure of late, owing to the deluge of questions regarding McLaren’s ‘new’ – but not actually new – front-suspension geometry and whether he plans to use it.
