Steiner advises Piastri to switch teams.

      With three races remaining in the season, Oscar Piastri trails teammate Lando Norris by 24 points. Former Haas team principal Günther Steiner advises the Australian driver to change teams if he cannot win the title.

      "If Oscar doesn't win the title, he should change teams, because he has a chance to get into another good car," Günther Steiner said on The Red Flags podcast. "He's a good driver, and change can sometimes be beneficial. Oscar is young enough to adapt to a new car. I think he can do it, but that's just my opinion.

      This coming winter Oscar should regroup and come back stronger. Otherwise the best option for him is to change teams. But I think he'll manage, because I rate him highly."

      At the same time Steiner conceded that by the end of the season Piastri might not only fail to win the title but could also be overtaken for second place by Max Verstappen: "Why not, if things keep going like this. If you assume Oscar is mentally crushed, then yes, Max will get ahead of him, that's for sure.

      Max is motivated, and we saw that in Brazil. He didn't give up after a terrible qualifying. He rolled up his sleeves, stepped it up and finished on the podium."
