Jacques Villeneuve: Now is not the time to lose form.

Jacques Villeneuve: Now is not the time to lose form.

      Oscar Piastri last stood on the podium in early September in Monza. Over the four Grands Prix since then, the Australian McLaren driver has slipped from first to second in the drivers' standings. 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve believes Oscar's chances in the title fight have diminished.

      "Piastri lost the lead in the drivers' standings, and Max Verstappen has also taken a few points off him," says Jacques Villeneuve. "The next race will be in Brazil, and that track suits Max. It might rain, and then the race will turn into chaos.

      Now is not the time to lose form. The season is long and it's understandable that the drivers are tired. When such a drop in results happens at the start of the season, you're full of energy to fight back, you have the summer break. Now Piastri does not have the opportunity to rest. He's worn out, tired, and it will be tough for him."
