Alain Prost Sees a Reflection of Himself in F1 Rising Star Oscar Piastri

The 70-year-old four-time Formula 1 champion from France, Alain Prost, believes that the 24-year-old driver of the British team McLaren, Australian Oscar Piastri, bears some resemblance to him.

“I appreciate Oscar’s behavior on the track. He reminds me of myself a bit—he thinks carefully about when to execute the right maneuver for overtaking and acts with a bit more intelligence.

I like him. You never know what the future holds, but drivers like Piastri typically have the potential to improve,” Prost stated, as quoted by Motorsport.

It’s worth noting that the Australian driver currently holds the top position in the Formula 1 standings, with a total of 234 points.
