Oscar Piastri credits Clarkson for Australian Grand Prix recovery
Oscar Piastri finished ninth in the Australian Grand Prix after a mistake nearly derailed his race. He credits his experience driving a tractor at Jeremy Clarkson's farm for helping him recover after veering off track. Piastri qualified second and was a strong contender but faced a spinning wheels dilemma. His quick thinking and a safety car phase allowed him to regain positions and earn two points. The race attracted a record crowd of 465,498, despite heavy rain. Piastri expressed pride in being a home hero, though Australian fans are still waiting for a local driver to reach the podium at Albert Park.
