Oscar Piastri joked about wanting to give the FIA extra time to confirm his Qatar GP sprint pole, following more Formula 1 track limits chaos in Saturday\u2019s qualifying shootout.
The McLaren driver, who found out he had lost third place on the grid for Sunday’s race live during a television interview on Friday, said he did not want to get disappointed again in light of the potential delay in penalties being handed out. Speaking straight after the session, as he edged out team-mate Lando Norris to secure a McLaren front row for Saturday’s sprint, Piastri smiled about waiting for the final nod that he was actually on pole. “Yeah, very, very happy,” he said.
While McLaren ended up with its cars locking out the front row for Saturday's sprint race, Piastri said it had not been an easy session as he felt things were getting away from him early on. “I think I struggled quite a bit in the first two parts of that qualifying, but then got my act together a bit more for the last one,” he said.
