F1 Champion Damon Hill Empathizes with Oscar Piastri's Miserable Season Start

Damon Hill offers sympathy to Oscar Piastri after the McLaren driver failed to start the first two races of the 2024 season, a fate not seen in F1 for 56 years. Hill also provides insight into McLaren's potential performance gains and their relationship with engine supplier Mercedes.

McLaren's Oscar Piastri has endured a historically poor start to his second F1 season, failing to start either of the first two races—a feat not seen since team founder Bruce McLaren in 1968. 1996 world champion Damon Hill has publicly expressed sympathy for the young Australian's plight, while also suggesting McLaren's underlying performance may be improving despite the catastrophic reliability.
