Oscar Piastri has stated he is unsure where McLaren stacks up in the pecking order after Friday practice in Las Vegas due to the interrupted running.<\/p>\n
While FP1 was a largely smooth affair, the dusty track meant there was heavy track evolution throughout the 60-minute session.<\/p>\n
The second session saw two late red flags, which denied many drivers the chance to complete their final hot laps on the soft tyre.<\/p>\n
Piastri ended the session in 14th while team-mate and championship leader Lando Norris topped the session.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his day, Piastri stated: \u201cFP1 was pretty good. There are some things to work on, but overall, I felt like it was a pretty good session.<\/p>\n
\u201cFP2, I did two laps for the whole session, so difficult to know exactly where we sit.<\/p>\n
\u201cClearly, the car has got decent pace but not that many people got a great run on the soft. It\u2019s a little bit difficult to know exactly where we sit.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill, plenty of positives and plenty of things to look through overnight.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, with more track evolution expected throughout the weekend, Piastri is unconcerned about his lack of preparation ahead of qualifying on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel okay,\u201d he said. \u201cWould I have loved some more laps? Yes.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the track is going to continue to change quite a bit through the rest of the weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see what kind of weather we’ve got tomorrow when we get here and take it from there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oscar Piastri has stated he is unsure where McLaren stacks up in the pecking order after Friday practice…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-298847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
