Piastri calls for adjustments to the existing rules.

      Oscar Piastri is calling for a review of the directives that define drivers' behaviour during on-track battles, because these rules are applied inconsistently. Furthermore, the Australian racing for McLaren believes that in some cases rivals even try to exploit them to gain an advantage.

      In Las Vegas there was contact between Piastri's McLaren and Liam Lawson's car at the first corner after the start of the race, but the Racing Bulls driver was not penalized because the stewards decided he had been forced to move to avoid a collision with George Russell's Mercedes, which, occupying the inside line, locked up under braking.

      The stewards left the incident without consequence, whereas at the Brazil round Oscar received a 10-second penalty for overtaking Kimi Antonelli on the inside and ultimately finished fifth, although he could have finished second. The stewards' decision at the São Paulo Grand Prix caused a noticeable reaction within the racing community, with the media in particular giving the story a lot of attention, as the penalty seemed excessive and unduly harsh.

      In Las Vegas Piastri spoke to journalists even before the decision on McLaren's double disqualification, and when the conversation turned to the obvious contrast in the interpretation of these two incidents, Oscar said: "I'm not even going to try to work that out. It is what it is. But we will have a meeting with the stewards where we'll express our view. Of course, the current directives were drawn up with drivers' suggestions in mind, and I think that in most cases they are largely helpful."

      The meeting of drivers with FIA representatives will take place before the Qatar Grand Prix, and it will discuss the rules in force this year that govern participants' actions in various acute situations that arise on track.

      "There's definitely a need to make some adjustments," Piastri continued. "Because, in my view, people to some extent are trying to interpret these rules in their favor, as there have already been several incidents you don't want to see during races. Overall, I'm confident we'll discuss this so that our sport can develop and become better."
