Oscar Piastri currently leads the World Drivers' championships by 16 points with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen behind him. Which driver does he find hardest to beat?
Between the three of them, there is only a 32 point gap from first to third.
In the post-race press conference at the Miami Grand Prix, Piastri told GPBlog and others about his challenges with Verstappen and Norris.

Norris or Verstappen?

He said, “Both are very different challenges, I would say. On days like today, our two cars were clearly the best in the field by some margin.”

“I know how strong Lando is as a driver, being his teammate now for a couple of years. It’s never easy.”
Piastri noted, “Also, racing Max is never easy, as we saw.”
Both Piastri and Norris had to fight against Verstappen to get ahead of the pack during the Miami Grand Prix.
The Australian ended, “In the long term, this season, it’s clearly going to be a strong fight between Lando and me, but both are challenging.”
