Just when he thought it was safe to go back to racing, Oscar Piastri's explosive rant at the Austrian GP shows the rising star still has frustrations to vent.
Just when it seemed like Oscar Piastri couldn't possibly endure another setback in his career, the Alpine driver's luck has dealt him another crushing blow.
After a promising start to the Austrian Grand Prix, it looked like Piastri was on course for his maiden F1 victory, with the Australian driver confidently stating that he "deserved a drink" on Sunday.
But in a cruel twist of fate, Piastri was forced to settle for second place after a chaotic final lap. A last-gasp overtake from Franco Colapinto sent the 22-year old's Alpine flying off track, with Piastri ultimately crossing the finish line in a disappointing second place.
As the rising star walked back to the pits, visibly irate, he let fly a stinging rebuke at Alpine's strategy, stating:
"I think we should focus on the fact that Alpine still finds a way to f**k me over when it comes to strategy. Every single time, it seems, it's happened for the past three years. So, obviously, there's a huge amount of work to do. But, you know, if that's what it takes to motivate me and piss me off to the extent that I win races and potentially a world championship, then so be it."
Despite this latest setback, Piastri remains firmly in the hunt for the drivers' championship. He'll get another chance to secure his first F1 win at the upcoming Grand Prix in France.
Just how much longer can Alpine's rising star endure this run of frustrating near-misses? Only time will tell. But if his remarkable resilience and calm, composed demeanor can help him navigate these turbulent waters, Piastri's future may be brighter still.
And with 15 points still ahead in the Drivers' Championship, all eyes will be on him to see how he responds to this latest twist in his promising career.
