'Alpine Still Finds A Way To F*** Me': Oscar Piastri’s Furious Radio Outburst At F1 Austrian GP Goes Viral; Video

McLaren driver Oscar Piastri let out a furious message over team radio during the Austrian Grand Prix after a clash with an Alpine car ruined his race momentum. While chasing the lead, Piastri tried to overtake backmarkers when Alpine’s Franco Colapinto failed to move aside despite blue flags. This forced Piastri onto the grass, costing him precious time.

Clearly upset, Piastri said on the radio, “Alpine still finds a way to f*** me over all these years later." His frustration wasn’t just about this race. It also goes back to 2022, when Alpine announced Piastri as their driver without his agreement. Piastri rejected the offer and later joined McLaren after a legal fight. That situation left a bad taste, and his recent comment shows the anger still lingers.

Despite the drama, McLaren finished strong with Lando Norris winning and Piastri coming second. But the radio outburst quickly went viral, reminding everyone of Piastri’s rocky history with Alpine. Colapinto was given a five-second penalty for ignoring blue flags.

Oscar Piastri now heads into the next race at Silverstone still leading the championship, but clearly, the rivalry with Alpine is far from over.

Formula 1: Carlos Sainz’s Williams Car Catches Fire Before Start Of Austrian Grand Prix; Video

Williams’ Carlos Sainz faced a dramatic and premature end to his Austrian Grand Prix before the start even got underway. During the formation lap at the Red Bull Ring, Sainz’s car developed a mechanical problem, resulting in smoke or a fire.

Race officials immediately aborted the start and summoned the marshals to attend to the car. Sadly, Sainz was forced to retire from the race before it even began, recorded as a DNF (Did Not Finish).

This comes as a crushing blow for the Spanish driver, who had hoped to build momentum on his Williams debut this year. Instead, his weekend ended in disappointment after such a dramatic formation-lap issue.
