Palmer: Piastri is the calmest of the riders

      Former Formula 1 racer and expert on the official website Jolyon Palmer is impressed by the calmness of the World Championship leader…

      Jolyon Palmer: "Of all the people I remember and know, Oscar Piastri is the calmest racer. His career is still at the very beginning, we have not yet seen how he copes with the pressure of fighting for the title – it will happen later this year, but now he is incredibly calm, no matter what is happening around him.

      Kimi Raikkonen was called "Iceman" for his equanimity, but I've seen him much more agitated than Oscar in a difficult situation. The ability to maintain such calmness and composure is Piastri's strong point.

      I haven't seen him make mistakes under pressure, it's impossible to imagine him losing points because of a loss of composure like Max Verstappen did last Sunday."
