Jacques Villeneuve criticizes Oscar Piastri for Azerbaijan GP error

Jacques Villeneuve has called Oscar Piastri's double lock-up during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix a 'rookie mistake.' The incident occurred while Piastri was defending his position running third at the Baku City Circuit, resulting in a loss of control and ultimately finishing in 14th place. Villeneuve noted that Piastri seemed distracted while checking his mirrors, which contributed to the mistake. Jamie Chadwick, who was also on the broadcast, echoed Villeneuve’s critique, highlighting that both McLaren drivers expressed frustration with their car's performance. Piastri admitted he was surprised by the incident and plans to review the event further following a 'disappointing end' to his race. McLaren teammate Lando Norris faced his own issues, crashing after contact with other drivers.
