"Alpine still manages to find a way to f**k me over all these years later": Oscar Piastri's savage team radio after Franco Colapinto incident

Oscar Piastri's team radio after his on-track incident with Franco Colapinto left everyone stunned as the McLaren driver delivered a statement owing to his past saga with Alpine. This took place when Piastri made contact with Colapinto during the Austrian GP.

Piastri was in pursuit of P1 and was chasing his McLaren teammate, Lando Norris, on Lap 54 of 70. This was when he had to overtake Yuki Tsunoda and Colapinto. But, it wasn't just an overtake, as the Australian driver was lapping the two drivers.

However, instead of a smooth pass, Colapinto left Piastri with no space, and as a result, the two drivers banged wheels, leaving the McLaren man on the grass. This not only destroyed Piastri's momentum but also increased his gap with Norris.

After the ordeal, Piastri took to his team radio in frustration and said:

"Alpine still manages to find a way to fuck me over all these years later"

Here's a video featuring Piastri's comments on the radio:

Notably, Oscar Piastri's statement comes after the Australian driver was involved in a tug of war between Alpine and McLaren in 2022, as both teams wanted to secure his services. However, it was the Papayas who ended up on top.

In the end, Norris claimed the victory as he fended off Piastri. With this, the British driver clinched his third win of the season and trimmed his Championship gap to Piastri. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finished P3 and P4, respectively. George Russell completed the Top-five.

"Intense. I hope it was good watching, as it was pretty hard work inside the car. I tried my absolute best, probably could have done a better job when I just got ahead. A good battle, probably pushed the limits a little far. Close, but not quite enough."

After 11 races and two Sprints, Piastri is leading the Drivers' Championship with 216 points. He is being followed closely by his teammate, Lando Norris, with 201 points.
