Oscar Piastri suffers horror F1 debut, lasting 15 laps before car failure

Oscar Piastri's first race in F1 was brief as he retired early from the Bahrain Grand Prix.abc.net.au/news/max-verstappen-wins-f1-bahrain-grand-prix-oscar-piastri-dnf/102029784Oscar Piastri's debut in Formula 1 has ended after 15 laps while Max Verstappen made the perfect start to his title defence, with a victory for Red Bull Racing in Bahrain.

The Australian was called into the pits on lap 15, with his team telling him over the radio that they would be changing his steering wheel. McLaren team principal Zak Brown told Sky Sports that the Australian appeared to have been failed by electrical faults."We changed steering wheels but that doesn't seem to have done the trick."It was a sorry day for McLaren with Lando Norris also suffering several issues with his car. The Briton pitted six times during the race, mainly for engine issues, anchoring him to the rear of the field.

It was a brilliant start to the year for Red Bull, with Verstappen's teammate Perez coming home in second.

This what happens when you go to a team that has a uncompetitive and unreliable car.

They turfed their only race winner in the last Decade+ for this brat, who betrayed his original team and all up cost them about $22M in the process. He will never win a race. Zac brown should focus on fried chicken and cold beers on Friday night than what he’s done to the team.
