Crash and DNF at Baku City Circuit
Piastri crashed and finished 20th in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Baku City Circuit on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The McLaren star would have an incredibly tough day on the streets of Azerbaijan. Piastri would appear to jump the start when the lights out occurred but then he'd seemingly stall for a few moments. The field behind him would rocket past and Piastri would drop to P20 from his starting spot of ninth on the grid. He would appear to lock up in turn 5 and then crash hard into the barriers bringing out the safety car on the opening lap. Piastri's day would be finished with an early retirement and P20 finish.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Australian rookie Piastri has quite the shoes to fill in his first season with Formula One, taking former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's spot as Lando Norris' teammate for the 2023 campaign. Piastri was quite the phenom in his last season with Formula 2 in 2021, winning a total of six times, earning 252 points, and walking away with the Driver's Championship after just 23 starts in the series. The driver of the No. 81 will have a lot of eyes on his on-track performance this year, as McLaren is famous for their incoming drivers having issues sufficiently adapting to the feeling and handling of the car. In the upcoming season, Piastri's greatest challenge will be learning how to adjust his racing style to fit the capabilities of the MCL36 and where he fits amongst all the new talent on the grid this season.
