They may have crashed twice in 2023 but Mark Webber reckons Lewis Hamilton respects Oscar Piastri.
Oscar Piastri’s manager Mark Webber reckons the young Australian has earned the respect of Lewis Hamilton following their crash at Monza last year.
“I think it was Mark actually said to me, after Monza, ‘if he didn’t think much of you, he wouldn’t have come and said anything,’” Piastri told the Beyond the Grid podcast. “I’m going to trust Mark on that one. I feel like it’s a good bit of advice or wisdom. Aside from the crashes, Piastri did admit it was a little surreal to line up alongside Hamilton for the first time.
“You’ve got to be on your A-game trying to beat them. There’s also kind of the mentality of you can’t treat them any differently and you can’t have that prejudice because then you’re going to race some differently.
