'There was some evidence': Former F1 champion weighs 'logic' of anti-Piastri bias theory

Theory Briefing

  • A former F1 champion acknowledged 'some evidence' exists for the theory but stopped short of endorsing it outright.
  • The champion flagged that publicly debating a bias theory risks making it more damaging — a tension between transparency and harm.
  • The framing centres on whether Piastri has faced unfair treatment, with 'logic' cited as both a reason to take the claim seriously and a reason to be cautious.
