Halfway through his second season in Formula 1, Oscar Piastri is looking more like a contender with each race.

McLaren's Australian driver has made strides in 2024 as McLaren has surged up the F1 table to sit third in the constructors' championship, still in the hunt to claim the title by the end of the year.

While his British teammate Lando Norris has taken plenty of attention with his maiden grand prix win in Miami and his battles with world champion Max Verstappen, Piastri has quietly produced great drives.

A second place at the Monaco Grand Prix is the highlight of the first half of the season, but it was his performance at the British Grand Prix earlier this month that caught the attention of many.

Piastri was fourth, despite being cruelled by a poor strategy decision from his team to keep him out for one lap too many as the rain was falling.

Piastri was second at that point and on the rear of Norris who was leading before McLaren pitted the Brit, but critically left Piastri to drive on a wet track with old, dry tyres.
